Strengths

• A coordinated athlete and tough player to tackle, running with low pad level. Has good body thickness and strength.
• Excels finding soft spots in zone coverage and using his large frame to shield defenders.
• Good strength and effort to run through arm tackles.
• Above-average acceleration for a big man.
• Good vision to set up blocks and while he isn't quick enough to elude in tight quarters, and take advantage of a defender leaning to spring for additional yardage.

Weaknesses

• A glider, moves faster than he appears but lacks the top-end speed to be a real threat down the seam.
• Inconsistent with his release off the line of scrimmage.
• High cut frame and limited power in hands prevent a top blocking grade.
• Is a bit high-hipped and slow to get rolling. Frame limits upside as a blocker.
• Doesn't break many tackles or do enough after contact.
