Strengths

• Lone concern is handling the superquick NFL edge rusher. Foot speed and quickness are very good, but not elite.
• Quick feet to get inside of defensive tackles to wall off inside and reach linebackers at the second level.
• Plays with appropriate wide base and intelligence, instincts and agility to seal the edge. Aggressive extending with power to punch and looks comfortable in space.
• He's infinitely coachable and athletically gifted with the ideal frame, physique, weight distribution, knee bend and hand strength to be molded into a special blocker.
• Good natural athleticism, knee bend and fluid lateral movement to mirror college defensive ends.

Weaknesses

• Too often is pushed back into the pocket during pass protection becaus~ he bends at the waist rather than at the knees. Relies more on precise angles than physicality in the running game.
• Flashes the ability to move his man with his hands, but is not yet consistent in this area.
• Needs to work on his technique in pass protection, using more consistent leverage and continuing to move his feet.
• Limits ability to mirror by leaning forward with his upper body and neglecting his lower body. Not strong enough and remains rough around the edges.
• Loses leverage battles and plays with high pad level. Can be late off the snap.
