Strengths

• Lower than offensive lineman on every short-yardage play. Good agility and ability to change direction for his size.
• Rarely goes to the ground, showing good balance from his high school wrestling days.
• Strength gives ends a chance to twist inside and linebackers free lane to the passer on blitzes.
• Played with good leverage, even on the nose, despite average bulk. Hustle defender with a good bull rush inside that can close and get home when quarterbacks leave the pocket.
• Big-bodied rusher with very good upper-body strength. Strong and stout at the point of attack with the measurables to occupy multiple blockers.

Weaknesses

• Plays too high at times, and gets carried downfield or put to the ground by better lineman when losing the leverage battle.
• Needs to keep his pad level low; pops upright and plays too tall, struggling to maintain leverage off the snap.
• Sees the ball well but is stuck on blocks when head-up; does not shed to make plays often enough.
• Hands could be much more violent when trying to gain control of the block. Does not hold his ground while facing a double-team; first instinct is to roll away to make a play, which can create a large hole.
• Only adequate burst off the snap even when directly over the ball, and his initial pop leaves room to be desired.
