Strengths

• Above-average football smarts and general intelligence. Plays with a nasty streak. Solid character and work ethic.
• 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.
• Has the feet to adjust when he anticipates what's coming. Effective trapping and bends at the knees with adequate core strength to absorb the bull rush. Can clear a path at the second level if he hits the target.
• Quick feet to get inside of defensive tackles to wall off inside and reach linebackers at the second level.
• Good initial quickness to seal defenders, with powerful hands to jar with an initial punch. Flashes a mean streak and enjoys the physicality of the game.

Weaknesses

• Can be beat off the edge coming out of his stance lunging to reach speedy wide rushers.
• Loses leverage battles and plays with high pad level. Can be late off the snap.
• Attacks when necessary, though he won't consistently dominate and can lose balance overextending.
• Oversteps on his kick-side, allowing too wide of a lane back inside for pass rushers able to re-direct quickly. Has more power than quickness, struggles to re-direct and hit the moving target. Lunges too often, leading to flailing missed blocks.
• Finesse blocker with average arm length who doesn't use his hands well to win at the point of attack.
