Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Goncalves has a prototypical build for the edge. Along with his height, Goncalves has broad shoulders and a tapered, athletic build, as well long arms
  • Fires off the snap quickly, and he shows the flexibility to get out and seal on reach blocks. He’s at his best, however, in the phone booth.
  • With a thick build and a naturally wide base, he brings power and physicality in the run game.
  • Strong upper body, arms and hands. Coordinated feet with the flexibility for offensive tackle. Hard worker.
  • Has a naturally wide base, thickly build and good length. Long legs to cover a lot of ground with his initial kick slide. Has the quickness to set up quickly with enough lateral shuffle to mirror and mobility to get to the second level.
  • Plays with natural leverage and has the strength to anchor against the bull rush. Goncalves also packs a violent initial punch that can stand up pass rushers.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Needs to work on his technique in pass protection, using more consistent leverage and continuing to move his feet.
  • 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.
  • Can look a little shaky in pass protection against speed-to-power, as his upper and lower body aren’t always coordinated.
