Strengths

• 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.
• 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.
• Quick setting up after the snap and slides well to the outside, staying patient and balanced off the snap.
• Has good footwork and technique. Balanced and agile pass protection set with excellent hand placement.
• Finds defenders with his hands immediately and gets feet moving to engage and sustain.

Weaknesses

• 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.
• Not physically imposing and has average overall strength. Upper body gets over his feet too often and he easily loses his balance.
• Good upper-body strength but must improve his core strength. Better suited to a zone-blocking system because of his athleticism.
• Finesse blocker with average arm length who doesn't use his hands well to win at the point of attack.
• Stronger pass rushers can get under his pads and steer him aside.
