Summary

A little bit of a late rising guy in this draft. Has played OC, OG and OT for the Buffalos and probably has most of his experience at LOT. His best attributes may be his versatility. He can play anywhere on the OL, he is a very smart and efficient player and rarely makes mistakes. He has good AA and overall movement and is a positioned type player that wins most of his battles with finesse rather than power. At times, he can look like a waist bender and play a little high, and he is not a power type guy at the POA. He can handle quickness rather better than power and a bull rusher will give him some problems. His versatility makes him an interesting guy on the NFL level and he would be a good candidate for an NFL teams #7 or #8 OL. He is not, necessarily, exciting, but a pretty solid pick.
