Paul Jr. is an athletic, high-energy linebacker with sideline-to-sideline range, aggressive run fits, and coverage upside, making him a three-down linebacker candidate. His instincts, tackling efficiency, and burst as a blitzer allow him to impact all phases of the game. While he lacks ideal size and struggles disengaging from blocks in tight spaces, his fluidity in coverage and closing speed in pursuit make him an ideal fit in a 4-3 WILL role or a 3-4 ILB spot where he is protected by strong interior defensive linemen.
