THE GOOD

– Thick lower half with long arms relative to frame
– Flashes quick first step, able to fire off ball and put centers on their heels
– Strong and stout in the middle, eats up interior blocks and defends run between the guards
– Uses his arms to create length to stack and shed
– Shows good pad level against man/base blocks
– Bull rush able to push the pocket
– Works to get hands up in throwing lanes
– Played in pro-style defense, asked to stunt in pass game and occasionally dropped into coverage
– Produces good hit power and ability to finish plays
– Elite starting experience

The Bad

– Limited athlete who struggles laterally
– Has trouble defending zone schemes and perimeter runs
– Pad level wildly inconsistent and plays too tall, often popping upright off the ball
– Below-average foot speed to cover ground and track outside run games
– One-note pass rusher who primarily uses/wins with bull rush
– Bull rush tends to lose steam quickly, causing him to get stuck on rushes
– Doesn’t have other tools in belt and struggles to attack half-man
– Plays bit uncoordinated and out of control as a rusher, too often wrestles with his blocker instead of trying to beat him
– Wasn’t used in pass-rushing packages and sack production was miniscule
