Strengths

• 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.
• Big athlete with good bulk and a filled-out frame. Stays balanced and doesn't overextend in pass protection. Stays disciplined with good bend and leverage.
• 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.
• Lone concern is handling the superquick NFL edge rusher. Foot speed and quickness are very good, but not elite.
• Has broad shoulders and flashes the playing strength and power to overwhelm at the point of attack.

Weaknesses

• Loses leverage battles and plays with high pad level. Can be late off the snap.
• Adequate initial burst should be far better and isn't good enough to consistently hold out elite pass rushers.
• Drops his head too often on contact, which causes problems against swim moves.
• Stops his feet after initial contact, relying on length but allowing defender to get the corner or spin inside.
• 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.
