- Provides some secondary interior pass rush, getting most penetration when playing three technique.
- Quick footed with rare burst for his size. Very good quickness off the snap to split defenders and penetrate the pocket.

- Vincent plays with leverage and brings good power, especially in his lower body, consistently holding up against double teams in the run game.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- 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.
- Stands up well against the run but is very pursuit-conscious and will take unneeded wide angles.
