Van Ness’ best attribute is the power he has in his hands and his overall play strength. His hands were evident when he bullrushed, as they were heavy enough to push blockers back at the first point of contact. His hand placement on his bullrushes was precise as they were always square into the chest plate of the blocker. He shows off very good play strength routinely, able to consistently fight through blockers and is extremely difficult to anchor down against.
Like in the passing game he was able to get lower enough to gain leverage on interior offensive lineman, meaning he was able to drive them back into the running lane. He was able to use his upper body strength in the running game to shove interior offensive lineman aside on plays run to the inside. Van Ness is a good form tackler as he goes to wrap up ball carries rather than throwing his shoulder right into them.
He did not reduce the space between tackles and himself very quickly when in a two-point on the edge.
