Strengths

• Quick off the snap. Naturally light on his feet and flashes good flexibility and balance. Good straight-line speed in getting to the second level and the ability to adjust to defenders.
• 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.
• Solid positional run blocker who flashes the nasty demeanor and killer instinct scouts covet.
• 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.
• Tall, long, athletic pass protector. Generally gets out of three-point stance with good knee bend and a wide base.

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.
• Can be beat off the edge coming out of his stance lunging to reach speedy wide rushers.
• Not physically imposing and has average overall strength. Upper body gets over his feet too often and he easily loses his balance.
• High-cut and doesn't bend knees well. Set in pass protection is high, and that affects the power and ability to anchor and causes him to bend at the waist.
• Needs to prove his worth in a straight-ahead running game.
