Athletic lineman and disruptive pass rushing force. Plays with excellent leverage, forceful up the field yet also makes plays laterally up and down the line of scrimmage. Disciplined, displays a good head for the ball and always working to get involved.
Haye looks like an athletic strongside end. He has good size, but the question is it too much? Some have labeled him as very raw, and a work in progress. He's a player I think that will go high because of his upside, but maybe the Falcons should be looking for players with a bit more polish. He's a guy worth comparing to Kenechi Udeze or Charles Grant, but we'll see if he's as good as either of those players on the next level.
