Strengths

• Quarterbacks and ballcarriers feel his strength when he plants them in the backfield.
• Looks the part with natural size and filledout frame with good body thickness.
• 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.
• Flashes exciting burst off the snap to penetrate. Can slip through gaps with his get-off and is an intimidating force for quarterbacks to avoid.
• Surprisingly light on his feet and shows the ability to break down reasonably well to make the tackle in tight quarters against much smaller, quicker ballcarriers.

Weaknesses

• Needs to do a better job of being the aggressor and tossing blockers aside.
• Might be limited to one-gap systems. Agility isn't a question but misses tackles when he doesn't square and break down.
• Possesses excellent weight-room strength, although it doesn't always translate onto his play.
• Inconsistent in his ability to separate from blocks, however, making him more of a nuisance than a snap-to-snap terror.
• Isn't able to consistently shed blocks and makes plays in the hole.
