Possess good strength at times when he can latch onto you first. High IQ and awareness player who does an adequate job of identifying the defense line stunt and dishing the stunt man to the guard.

Power Statement:

Experienced player who has an NFL ready body who is a good pass blocker and decent run blocker. Athletic player for his size but still needs to get a little bit more quicker and lighter on his feet to help defeat the quicker and twitcher edge rushers. Needs to learn how to get his pad level lower when run blocking and drive his feet and keep them moving.
