Pos:

Explosive interior lineman who is a force when focused on his game. Plays with good pad level, quickly gets off the snap and is fluid changing direction.

Effectively uses his hands to protect himself or get off blocks, makes plays laterally and covers a good amount of area on the field. Focused on by opponents and defends the run or rushes the passer.

Neg:

Gets lazy and takes plays off. Does not give consistent effort trying to shed blocks. Has been in a lot of trouble the past eight months.
