Strengths

• Gets everything out of his adequate size and frame with good length. Added bulk to his frame and flashes functional strength to get a good push in the run game.
• Finishes and doesn't quit; competitor with a positive attitude and leadership traits that coaches admire.
• Has average height with a narrow base out of his stance. Needs to get stronger in his lower half to anchor at the point of attack.
• 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.
• 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.

Weaknesses

• Loses leverage battles and plays with high pad level. Can be late off the snap.
• Anticipates speed rushers attacking the edge and will over-set to the outside, leaving inside rushing lanes wide open for defenders to jab-step outside and re-direct through the gap.
• Flashes the ability to move his man with his hands, but is not yet consistent in this area.
• 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.
• Lacks lateral agility, flexibility and footwork to start on the outside in the NFL.
