HEIGHT: 6'5"

WEIGHT: 250

POSITIVES

— Good frame with room for growth to add some weight; also has good length and appears to have long arms.

— Sets up his pass-rush moves well by stemming, using hesitation moves and head/shoulder fakes.

— Good use of hands as a pass-rusher.

— Has shown a handful of moves he can win with; swim, ghost and spin.

— Against the run, he has good block recognition to put himself in a good position to take on blocks or avoid getting too far up the field when unblocked.
