Strengths

• Lone concern is handling the superquick NFL edge rusher. Foot speed and quickness are very good, but not elite.
• He has the quickness and growth potential, long arms and powerful base to be one of the most popular players in predraft film sessions. If he impresses in private workouts, he could climb draft boards.
• Awareness is above-average for his limited experience. Sells trap block and can turn to seal. Fluid getting to and adjust at the second level.
• Wide-body who stands his ground and is especially effectively sliding to mirror and hold off outside pressure.
• Dips shoulder and moves his feet to get outside leverage when needed. Strong and low coming out of his stance, effective in short-yardage situations.

Weaknesses

• Whiffs on blocks after beaten initially and lacks range and lateral quickness. Plays too high and without proper leverage, pad level and can be passive.
• Heavy-footed with limited lateral quickness. Stiff and looks like he's moving in wet cement in the open field.
• Needs to prove his worth in a straight-ahead running game.
• Susceptible to speed rushers. Has only average quickness off the snap and doesn't possess the acceleration or arm length to corral defenders once they cross his face.
• Height can be a detriment in short-yardage, defender can get under his pads to hold the line.
