Strengths

• Strong hands and powerful on the line. Not moved by double teams and able to bull rush when he bends well. Nice anchor, won’t be pushed back or pancaked.
• Has some bend for a bigger Defensive end.
• Solid agility showing it when moving in space and trying to get around Linemen.

Weaknesses

• Can play high and lose the leverage battle in the run game.
• Tweener body type, bigger Defensive End but smaller Defensive Tackle.
• Wants to play with finesse but doesn’t have strong finesse move bag. Needs to either develop a nice finesse move or two or commit to power more.
• Slower first step, Linemen can get into their set before Overton initiates contact.
• Hand-fighting is an issue, doesn’t land his strikes consistently and needs more counters.
