ANALYSIS
Positives: Big-boned blocker with a thick chest, legs and thighs … Has developed a very aggressive demeanor, showing strong leg drive to explode off the snap, engage defenders and sustain his blocks … Has good lateral agility moving in the short area … Displays proper arm extension, shuffling his feet and keeping his leg base wide to maintain balance setting up in pass protection … Active with his hands, using them well to create separation and lock out the defender … Has above average strength, showing the ability to uncoil on contact … Displays the leg base and stance to deliver a solid initial punch coming off the snap.

Negatives: Does not sink his hips properly to get a good anchor in drive blocking and will lose his balance when trying to contain multiple defenders … Struggles to make upfield adjustments on the linebacker, thanks largely to a lack of natural foot agility … Plays too high coming out of his stance, preventing him from gaining momentum … Not an effective trap blocker due to difficulties with his mobility and adjustment skills on the hoof … Too straight-legged in his stance, causing defenders to yank and tug on him while getting their hands into his chest … Shorter than ideal to play tackle and his inline blocking skills may be better suited for guard at the pro level
