Strengths

• Has enough speed to challenge the seam but does not possess elite top-end speed.
• He is a highly competitive player and quickly gets to the perimeter, blocking well in space and at the second level.
• Good strength and effort to run through arm tackles.
• Comes off the snap quick, low and hard. Runs low and accelerates quickly.
• Soft, reliable hands center the big target for quarterbacks. Shields the defense and will let the ball into his pads to protect it when about to absorb a big hit over the middle.

Weaknesses

• Inconsistent with his release off the line of scrimmage.
• Doesn't explode off the line of scrimmage and lacks burst in his open-field moves. Drops too many catchable passes and can be overwhelmed at the point as a blocker.
• Is a bit high-hipped and slow to get rolling. Frame limits upside as a blocker.
• Will have his share of drops with inconsistent focus and too often tried running with the ball before the catch.
• Has only average size and strength and lacks an imposing frame.
