- 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.
- Flashes the strength to stack and shed, move down the line to chase running backs in either direction from inside.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Isn't able to consistently shed blocks and makes plays in the hole.
- Must improve hand use and read-and-react skills. Lacks the violent hands to shed and can be eliminated by double-team blocks.
