Strengths

• Solid positional run blocker who flashes the nasty demeanor and killer instinct scouts covet.
• 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.
• Lone concern is handling the superquick NFL edge rusher. Foot speed and quickness are very good, but not elite.
• 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.
• Finishes and doesn't quit; competitor with a positive attitude and leadership traits that coaches admire.

Weaknesses

• Needs to prove his worth in a straight-ahead running game.
• A short-area blocker with limited range and doesn't consistently get to the second level. Will play undisciplined at times, especially in space. Lacks a finishing attitude.
• Needs to work on his technique in pass protection, using more consistent leverage and continuing to move his feet.
• Isn't an elite quick-twitch blocker and his height causes him to be out-quicked. Leaks inside pressure when his technique gets sloppy.
• Flashes the ability to move his man with his hands, but is not yet consistent in this area.
