The Bad
– Plugger without much pass rush juice, limited sack production
– Doesn’t effectively use length well, often chest-to-chest and “wrestles” block, making it hard to key the ball and shed
– Needs to show better initial placement on his punch
– Tendency to pop up off the line, gets especially tall as a pass rusher
– Slow-footed and lumbers, will struggle to chase on the edges
– Average off the ball, can be slow to fire out of stance
– Slow burn bull rusher, takes time to walk back and collapse
– Doesn’t flash many finesse moves and takes too long to shed, often gets stuck as a rusher if his power can’t work and doesn’t show a long-arm
– Some balance issues staying on his feet and can get knocked around in run game
– Far from an every-down player, often rotated and wasn’t used on passing downs
– Hasn’t played a ton of snaps the last two years
– Older than most prospects
