Strengths

• Lower than offensive lineman on every short-yardage play. Good agility and ability to change direction for his size.
• Provides some secondary interior pass rush, getting most penetration when playing three technique.
• Strength gives ends a chance to twist inside and linebackers free lane to the passer on blitzes.
• Plays with leverage at the point of attack whether inside or outside. Keeps eyes in the backfield when inside; moves linemen to either side with strong hands.
• Provides some secondary interior pass rush, getting most penetration when playing three technique.

Weaknesses

• Isn't able to consistently shed blocks and makes plays in the hole.
• Might be limited to one-gap systems. Agility isn't a question but misses tackles when he doesn't square and break down.
• Misses tackles, even when he gets his hands on the ballcarrier. Needs to improve hand placement and technique.
• He struggles with leverage off the snap and plays too tall, limiting his effectiveness as a pass rusher.
• Does not test offensive linemen with quickness or strong initial punch.
