Strengths
- Fundamentally sound and understands blocking angles, using body positioning to his advantage. Disciplined awareness and good intelligence.
- Solid positional run blocker who flashes the nasty demeanor and killer instinct scouts covet.
- Adequate foot quickness to remain outside. Can get to the second level with surprising agility when adjusting to moving defenders. Underrated athleticism, agility, balance, and even straight-line speed to contribute.
- Anchors against larger defenders in the middle; resets hands to maintain distance. Athletic enough to help on nose tackle then pick up twist or late blitzer. Mirrors quick interior rushers. Looks to help the center when uncovered.
- Quick-footed with smooth movement skills to cover a large area. Rangy with above average lateral ability. Bursts off the snap and sets up quickly with little wasted motion.
Weaknesses
- Needs to work on his technique in pass protection, using more consistent leverage and continuing to move his feet.
- Has only average measurable with limited arm length and no overpowering qualities.
- Not physically imposing and has average overall strength. Upper body gets over his feet too often and he easily loses his balance.
- Will punch at smaller defenders instead of latching on and is more of a mauler than mover in the running game. Can improve maintaining outside leverage when doubling the nose. Ducks his head and gets too upright, causing him to fall off second-level blocks.
- Attacks when necessary, though he won't consistently dominate and can lose balance overextending.
