Strengths

• Anchors well and plays with the low center of gravity and natural bend to seal the inside lanes. Has violent hands with hustle to close off bubble screens and lead to flatten linebackers. Nasty demeanor and highly coachable.
• Lone concern is handling the superquick NFL edge rusher. Foot speed and quickness are very good, but not elite.
• 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.
• Above-average football smarts and general intelligence. Plays with a nasty streak. Solid character and work ethic.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Finesse blocker with average arm length who doesn't use his hands well to win at the point of attack.
• Stops his feet after initial contact, relying on length but allowing defender to get the corner or spin inside.
