He is another one of those players that was a former defensive lineman and while he played OT as a senior, he is more suited to be an OG on the NFL level. His strength is his run blocking ability and he has excellent power and explosiveness in a short area. He is a strong lock-on guy that will win most battles at the POA. He has fairly good quickness and feet for his size and he has decent short area pass protection qualities. He is not real pretty when he is on an island and at the Senior Bowl, they let him take some snaps at left tackle and it really exposed his lack of range and quickness. If he's left at OG or even ROT, he could be a strong short area run dominator that will need to improve a little bit in his pass pro techniques, but he should develop into a solid NFL contributor.
