The Good
– Wins quickly with strong hands and powerful punch
– Gets to second level with good speed
– Strong athletic ability displayed in the run game, specifically pulling in gap schemes and reach blocking in zone schemes
– Good body positioning in gap schemes
– Impressive overall play strength
– Powerful upper body holds up well against plugging run defenders
– Vice grip leads to quick wins when hands get on first
– High IQ player who understands protection, is seen helping quarterbacks sort blitzers pre-snap
The Bad
– Concerning arm length at sub-33 inches
– Alarmingly high pad level
– Speed rushers with fast get-offs threaten the edge, resulting in oversetting and opportunities to win inside
– Hand placement can get too high and outside the frame of the defender, which leads to penalties
– Because of high pad level, the lower body base can be bull-rushed by powerful rushers in pass protection
– Overall inconsistency in 1v1 pass protection situations
– Gives defenders better chances to win when failing to attack first, cannot let them get into him
– Needs to recover better after losing immediately
