Signed as an undrafted free agent by Atlanta Falcons
Strengths
Not to be bet against with the skills set to line up at guard or tackle. Could develop into a solid backup and eventual starter in the NFL.
Dips shoulder and moves his feet to get outside leverage when needed. Strong and low coming out of his stance, effective in short-yardage situations.
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.
Finishes and doesn't quit; competitor with a positive attitude and leadership traits that coaches admire.
Has smooth lateral movement skills with good foot quickness. First off the snap and sets quickly. Aggressive and extends his arms into contact, delivering a sharp punch.
Weaknesses
Not an explosive athlete and has limited range. Will pop upright off the snap and needs to stay balanced, avoid the habit of lunging.
Not physically imposing and has average overall strength. Upper body gets over his feet too often and he easily loses his balance.
Susceptible to speed rushers. Has only average quickness off the snap and doesn't possess the acceleration or arm length to corral defenders once they cross his face.
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.
