Summary

Has played both OG and OT in his college career and actually settled in at LOT in 1997, but lack of height may make him a better candidate at OG and OC than LOT. He has adequate AA and movement, but he gets buy on great effort and intensity and plays with good intelligence and instincts. He is a very steady guy that has good initial quickness and puts himself in good position to make the block. He is close to being an over achiever, although he has a little better AA than some might realize. He is not a bit thick guy and has some problems in short area "fist fights" with a big OL. His game is finesse and position and he is at his best blocking angles. He is a little bit of a straight line guy and doesn't always look real fluid, but he has a warrior mentality and works to finish the play. This is another guy that needs to find a home in the NFL. He is probably not quite athletic enough to play LOT nor big enough and strong enough to play OG against even fronts, and his best spot may be OC, but he is a good football player.
