Strengths

• Played with good leverage, even on the nose, despite average bulk. Hustle defender with a good bull rush inside that can close and get home when quarterbacks leave the pocket.
• Provides some secondary interior pass rush, getting most penetration when playing three technique.
• A massive man, is tough to move and can surprise opponents with his athleticism.
• 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.
• Strong tackler. Has good power in hands and can anchor, shed, and chase.

Weaknesses

• He remains raw as a pass rusher and doesn't have the foot speed to chase down ballcarriers.
• Good strength, though his marginal arm length limits his ability to grab hold of ballcarriers as they run by.
• Doesn't play fundamentally sound and lacks much technique in his repertoire.
• He struggles with leverage off the snap and plays too tall, limiting his effectiveness as a pass rusher.
• Isn't able to consistently shed blocks and makes plays in the hole.
