Strengths
Violent run blocker who drives defenders off the line with great leg drive.
Great hand technique in run and pass sets; displays strong inside placement and control.
High athletic ceiling and mobility; covers ground in a hurry and excels in downfield blocking.
May be the strongest offensive lineman in the class.
High football-IQ and processing; identifies blitzes like a quarterback, rarely getting beat by complex fronts.
Motor runs hot showing the ability to play through the whistle.
Good core strength to anchor and stuff bull rushers with relative ease.
Weaknesses:
Struggles on the edge due to below average lateral quickness.
Shorter arm reach limits his ability to punch longer pass rushers and keep them off his body; could be relegated to playing guard at the NFL level.
Tends to be a waist bender which causes him to lunge and lose leverage against quicker pass rushers.
