Strengths

• Plays with appropriate wide base and intelligence, instincts and agility to seal the edge. Aggressive extending with power to punch and looks comfortable in space.
• Has average height with a narrow base out of his stance. Needs to get stronger in his lower half to anchor at the point of attack.
• Lone concern is handling the superquick NFL edge rusher. Foot speed and quickness are very good, but not elite.
• A smooth mover and covers a lot of ground, working hard to mirror rushers; agile and keeps his feet moving.
• Quick out of his stance with the footwork to be effective in front of screens. Willing to get out in front of ballcarriers to take out defensive backs and linebackers.

Weaknesses

• Finesse blocker with average arm length who doesn't use his hands well to win at the point of attack.
• Can be beat off the edge coming out of his stance lunging to reach speedy wide rushers.
• Needs to prove his worth in a straight-ahead running game.
• Needs to work on his technique in pass protection, using more consistent leverage and continuing to move his feet.
• Attacks when necessary, though he won't consistently dominate and can lose balance overextending.
