“Football is really important to him — I can’t tell you how many nights we got out of here late, and we thought we were the last ones leaving the facility and it turns out he’s still around watching film” Banks said of Buchanan. “I believe his best football is ahead of him, and he’s going to an organization where what he learned can be put to great use. “I think the thing that stands out the most for me is his work ethic, combined with a tremendous ability of ability. You don’t see that in many kids. We knew he was a good player, but we had no idea how hungry and how hardworking a kid he was.”

Nice height and length for the position. Excellent first step, covers a lot of ground with his long strides off the edge. Can run the arc and flashes the flexibility to turn the corner. Swats offensive tackles’ hands off his body to get separation after his first step. Times his spin move up well. Has showed good motor to get secondary rushes and chase ballcarriers downfield. Flashes the ability to lock onto his man’s chest and use his long arms and churning feet to bull him back. Effective at linebacker, locks up tight ends off the line and shows some the hip-fluidity and agility to play in coverage. Works inside on twists and as a stand-up blitzer, fights through gaps to harass the quarterback.
