Strengths

• Has a strong upper body with physical, powerful hands and works hard to gain body positioning in the run game.
• Plays with appropriate wide base and intelligence, instincts and agility to seal the edge. Aggressive extending with power to punch and looks comfortable in space.
• Anchors against larger defenders in the middle; resets hands to maintain distance. Athletic enough to help on nose tackle then pick up twist or late blitzer. Mirrors quick interior rushers. Looks to help the center when uncovered.
• 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.
• Lone concern is handling the superquick NFL edge rusher. Foot speed and quickness are very good, but not elite.

Weaknesses

• Attacks when necessary, though he won't consistently dominate and can lose balance overextending.
• Susceptible to speed rushers. Has only average quickness off the snap and doesn't possess the acceleration or arm length to corral defenders once they cross his face.
• Whiffs on blocks after beaten initially and lacks range and lateral quickness. Plays too high and without proper leverage, pad level and can be passive.
• Finesse blocker with average arm length who doesn't use his hands well to win at the point of attack.
• Flashes the ability to move his man with his hands, but is not yet consistent in this area.
