  • Very good run blocker.
  • Can get knocked back easily in pass protection.
  • Tons of starting experience.
  • Does a great job of blocking one defender, then moving on to another one, often making two blocks consecutively during a play.
  • Leans forward in pass protection rather than with good posture.
  • Does a pretty good job of pushing pass rusher past the pocket.
  • Powerful drive blocker.
  • Stays with blocks down the field, taking defender completely out of the play.
  • Can get driven back into the pocket by powerful bull rushing defenders.
  • Too often I’ve seen him get pushed too upright and then driven back while anchoring in pass protection.
  • Quickly gets to second level of defenders and makes the block.
  • Looks like he has decent speed.
  • Has some trouble with speed rushers.
  • Kick slide needs improvement.
