Strengths

• Combines strength and footwork to fill holes inside, as well. Recovers from cut blocks or falling on his way to make a tackle.
• Lower than offensive lineman on every short-yardage play. Good agility and ability to change direction for his size.
• Flashes upper-body strength to rip and has the punch to push through interior linemen on stunts and twists.
• Played with lean and leverage against the run, tough for one man to move (sometimes double-teams, too).
• Strength gives ends a chance to twist inside and linebackers free lane to the passer on blitzes.

Weaknesses

• Must improve hand use and read-and-react skills. Lacks the violent hands to shed and can be eliminated by double-team blocks.
• Misses tackles, even when he gets his hands on the ballcarrier. Needs to improve hand placement and technique.
• Lacks the speed to turn the corner consistently and is too often washed out by stronghanded blockers.
• Sees the ball well but is stuck on blocks when head-up; does not shed to make plays often enough.
• Not a quick-twitch player. Won't consistently threaten the edge. Few explosive qualities and lacks great initial burst or overall range for the position.
