Fires off the ball when run blocking, stays low and plays with leverage... Adequate upper body strength, very solid punch... Does a nice job at POA... Very solid anchor, good base, can generally stop the bull rush and hold his ground... Good mobility... Can pull and get to the second level... Good flexibility and body control... Does a solid job blocking on the move... Flashes good effort... Similar in many ways to former Packer and Brown Ross Verba... Will need a year or two to make transition to Guard.
