Strengths

• Big-bodied rusher with very good upper-body strength. Strong and stout at the point of attack with the measurables to occupy multiple blockers.
• Strong tackler. Has good power in hands and can anchor, shed, and chase.
• Plays with leverage at the point of attack whether inside or outside. Keeps eyes in the backfield when inside; moves linemen to either side with strong hands.
• Has the ability to create a pile in the middle, even showing the ability to split the occasional double-team. However, is just as often blown off the ball due to his high pad level.
• Played with lean and leverage against the run, tough for one man to move (sometimes double-teams, too).

Weaknesses

• Might be limited to one-gap systems. Agility isn't a question but misses tackles when he doesn't square and break down.
• Needs to keep his pad level low; pops upright and plays too tall, struggling to maintain leverage off the snap.
• Inconsistent in his ability to separate from blocks, however, making him more of a nuisance than a snap-to-snap terror.
• Doesn't play fundamentally sound and lacks much technique in his repertoire.
• Must improve hand use and read-and-react skills. Lacks the violent hands to shed and can be eliminated by double-team blocks.
