Grade: 3.84

Selected by Arizona Cardinals
Round 5, pick 6 (141 overall)
BIO: Multiple award winner and three-year starter who produced 51 tackles with seven tackles for loss and three sacks as a senior. Second-team SEC player as a junior totaling 47-1-1.5 after 42-4-1.5 the prior year. All-Academic choice the past three seasons.

POSITIVES: Explosive inside lineman who can be used at either tackle or end. Quickly gets off the ball with a nice first step, displays a closing burst of speed and sideline-to-sideline range. Gets a lot of momentum going up the field, collapses laterally and quick altering his angle of attack. Effective with his hands, deceptively strong and tough to move off the point. Reads the action and finds the ball.

NEGATIVES: Lacks bulk and engulfed by larger lineman. Gets his pads a little high and stood up at the point.

ANALYSIS: Flashed skill and dominance throughout college but never seemingly put the pieces together. Offers some growth potential which, if met, could eventually move him into a starting lineup at the next level.

PROJECTION: Mid Second Round
