Michael Teason

What the tape shows

Smaller frame but protoypcial skillset for a Weakside ILB. Flows well on runs, especially those outside of the tackles. Get's downhill fast with proper angles. Utilizes his quickness against offensive linemen in space but, when needed, does an above averae job of punching and pressing blockers. Diagnosis backfield screens at the snap. Displays above average awareness in spot drop and zone match concepts. Has the speed and hip fluidity to play man or man match concepts. Packaged as a spy on 3rd down situation to contain QBs. Not an overly physical tackler but does a good job of getting guys to the ground. Could be a steal portal pickup.
