STRENGTHS

WEAKNESS

• He is a big, robust, well-rounded, tall, and firm offensive lineman.
  
• With his basketball background, she sees the experience and resemblance of basketball moves on his light feet.
  
• He plays well on the move and can get his body balanced and operational in zone-blocking schemes.
  
• He uses his power and strength to swing the defender to create run gaps for the backs.
  
• When he is able to get his helmet on the right side, he can drive the defender with an angle block and flush them out of the run gap. 
  
• He uses his length and wing span as a pass protector and keeps his grip on the defender until the whistle blows.
  

• He is a skilled blocker with great arm length but needs better hand placement.
• He needs to block better in space when extending past the line of scrimmage.
• He needs to work on blocking at the second level of defenders and lose his power when needing to drive the defender.
• He has horrible mechanics as a pass protector can get choppy and erratic in his counter.
• He does not get out well with a kick-slide when primarily trying to recover late.
• He struggles immensely against athletic and crafty pass rushers.
