Player Summary:

5th-year senior. LT starter. Great size and strength with good feet, average skills as a run blocker but good skills as a pass protector to add value to an NFL team. Has a quick first step in both phases of the game and plays with a wide base. In pass protection, he is good. Has a good punch to jolt defenders off track; does a good job of keeping his elbows tight and displays good inside hand placement and strike timing. Flashes very good instincts, reading and reacting to twists and stunts. Can mirror, has a good lateral shuffle and set. Will let defenders cross his face and will occasionally give up inside leverage. Plays with good balance and stays off the ground, but is a bit of a waist-bender. Needs to learn to sink his weight and sit on a stool. As a run blocker, he is average. Can seal off the corner on OZ runs and screens, but has a tough time sustaining blocks and driving defenders off the ball. Is a good puller but has a tough time with latching onto linebackers and blocking at the 2nd level. Needs to work to the whistle – will occasionally let defenders in on the play. Has a lot of raw athleticism; could develop into a good pro with the right coach.

Scheme Fit:

LT.

Power Statement:

Strong LT with good skills in pass protection but average run blocking skills. Could improve by sustaining blocks and latching onto defenders.
