The Good

– Ideal size and bulky frame with good weight distribution between the upper and lower half

– Punishes and bullies defenders who try to get their hands up in passing lanes
– Good overall play strength; able to displace defenders off the line of scrimmage

The Bad

– Struggles with inside counters and defenders crossing his face because of limited change of direction
– High-end speed gave him issues around the edge at tackle
