Scouting Report: Strengths
- Played with lean and leverage against the run, tough for one man to move (sometimes double-teams, too).
- Can make the impressive chest-to-chest bear hug tackle in the hole due to his ability to wreak havoc in the backfield.
- Average quickness and power and his bull rush will be stonewalled. Comes off the snap high, losing leverage.
- Lower than offensive lineman on every short-yardage play. Good agility and ability to change direction for his size.
- Plays with leverage at the point of attack whether inside or outside. Keeps eyes in the backfield when inside; moves linemen to either side with strong hands.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Good strength, though his marginal arm length limits his ability to grab hold of ballcarriers as they run by.
- Lacks the speed to turn the corner consistently and is too often washed out by stronghanded blockers.
