Strengths
  • Comes off the snap quick, low and hard. Runs low and accelerates quickly.
  • Can seal the edge as an in-line blocker. Not an intimidator but has enough strength, leverage and a solid base.
  • Among his better attributes. Gains a quick, clean release and has enough speed to challenge deep.
  • Quickly secures and protects the ball. Tracks the ball well and adjusts to off-target throws.
  • Gets a quick release off the line. Dips his shoulder and shows some savvy 8 as a route runner to avoid contact with defenders g to get into his route.
  • Can effectively place a block on a pass rusher before starting route by sinking fluid hips and delivering a punch.
  • Seems to enjoy the physical confrontation of blocking. Is willing to attack bigger defenders with explosive pop and good strength.
  • Good quickness off the snap. Has good speed for the position to attack the seam. Shows burst out of his breaks to gain separation.
  • Has good hand-eye coordination and body control to turn and adjust to poorly thrown balls.
Weaknesses
  • Has a smallish frame with underwhelming power, lean arms and little muscle definition.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
