POSITIVES
— Very good snap timing with quick feet out of his stance and active hands
— Establishes first meaningful contact with independent strikes as a pass-protector, slipping inside the frame of rushers to gain quick control
— Works hard to refit and reset his hands underneath and back inside to re-leverage himself against the bull-rush
— Can function in the zone run game because of initial quicks, hand placement and timing to execute combo blocks
— Has good feel to decipher games, stunts and blitzes
— Claws and fights to stay attached and finish blocks
— Very active when uncovered in protection and sells out to deliver body blows on adjacent rushers

— Proven versatility, leadership skills and ability to play hurt
NEGATIVES
— High-cut frame with an upright playing style and top-heavy build
— Poor redirect skills and change of direction ability on the move
— Lacks the lower half mobility to sink, brace and fight force with force through the ground, anchor slowly but surely crumbles once pressed on his heels
— Feet can get jittery and overactive, resulting in oversets without the mirror skills to recover
— Fits, doesn't explode into contact, resulting in consistent stalemates when power is needed
