What mental errors did he make? I'd like to re-watch it and see what he did wrong.

Nothing over the top... he made some misreads and over committed to rushing the wrong side on some weak side rushes. He also missed a guaranteed sack 'cos he was going too fast, couldn't adjust to the QB's step up and blew by past him, and he was kicking himself after that... punching his own helmet.

I think it's just a matter of adjusting to the NFL gamespeed after CFL.

Bottom line: he has really great speed which on the other hand can get him into trouble, but at the same time can get him out of it. Definitely a great rotation guy for Ellis' 3-tech spot.
