HEIGHT: 6'3 3/8"

WEIGHT: 321


POSITIVES

—Thick build throughout his frame with most of his weight through his quads, glutes, midsection and chest

—39 starts spread across three different positions

—Physical, rugged playing style with heavy hands to deliver jolt at the point of attack

—Picks up and passes off basic stunts and line games

—Actively looks for work when uncovered in pass protection

NEGATIVES

—Easily moved off of his spot when facing shifty interior rushers who set up their moves with stutters and hesitations, creating open lanes and immediate penetration

—Struggles to redirect and mirror against post-snap and sudden movement across his face

—Feet lag behind his eyes and has a bad habit of lunging and leaning into blocks, leaving him vulnerable to the push-pull and being late to locate moving targets

—Tardy with his hands when rushers can set up their moves with misdirection and suddenness
