Queen is a sideline to sideline linebacker with tremendous speed (4.5 40 time) that enables him to get tons of tackles and prevent running backs from getting to the second level. He is very quick to diagnose plays, which is very important for an inside linebacker like him because he will be acting as the quarterback of the defense. This also helps him to get to ball carriers very fast and get into coverage position if it's a pass. Since Queen doesn't have much experience he takes the wrong angle or does poorly against contact at times but these problems are fixable. Against the pass he has the speed to keep up with running backs and tight ends but lacks the height (6' 0'') to cover big tight ends. He has some issues with technique in coverage but they are fixable and likely due to the fact that he doesn't have much experience. Overall, Queen is immensely talented and has the ability to lead a defense with his only major flaws being fixable, so he has Pro Bowl upside.

Analytics-Based Prospect Grade: 90.55
