Strengths

• Effective in space and usually drops his hips to get leverage and sustain against shorter defenders.
• Attacks his man, playing with a wide base and the lateral agility to mirror, sustain and shuffle to help inside. Has the size, strength and quick feet to be effective as a position run-blocker.
• Wide-body who stands his ground and is especially effectively sliding to mirror and hold off outside pressure.
• Solid positional run blocker who flashes the nasty demeanor and killer instinct scouts covet.
• Eases out of his stance and has a finisher's mentality. Bends his knees, has above-average mobility and keeps his base square to adjust to counters.

Weaknesses

• Isn't an elite quick-twitch blocker and his height causes him to be out-quicked. Leaks inside pressure when his technique gets sloppy.
• Height can be a detriment in short-yardage, defender can get under his pads to hold the line.
• Susceptible to speed rushers. Has only average quickness off the snap and doesn't possess the acceleration or arm length to corral defenders once they cross his face.
• Loses leverage battles and plays with high pad level. Can be late off the snap.
• A short-area blocker with limited range and doesn't consistently get to the second level. Will play undisciplined at times, especially in space. Lacks a finishing attitude.
