Drafted: 2021: ROUND: 7 - Pick Number: 238 (DAL)
Strengths
- Solid positional run blocker who flashes the nasty demeanor and killer instinct scouts covet.
- Has a strong upper body with physical, powerful hands and works hard to gain body positioning in the run game.
- Has the feet to adjust when he anticipates what's coming. Effective trapping and bends at the knees with adequate core strength to absorb the bull rush. Can clear a path at the second level if he hits the target.
- Tall, long, athletic pass protector. Generally gets out of three-point stance with good knee bend and a wide base.
- Awareness is above-average for his limited experience. Sells trap block and can turn to seal. Fluid getting to and adjust at the second level.
Weaknesses
- Heavy footed and lacks elite lateral ability- will struggle with speed rushers and footwork is a work in progress. Bends too much at the waist and overextends himself- often caught lunging and leaning.
- Will punch at smaller defenders instead of latching on and is more of a mauler than mover in the running game. Can improve maintaining outside leverage when doubling the nose. Ducks his head and gets too upright, causing him to fall off second-level blocks.
- Flashes the ability to move his man with his hands, but is not yet consistent in this area.
- Needs to prove his worth in a straight-ahead running game.
- Has inconsistent footwork and body positioning and needs to improve his blocking angles.
