Summary

He is a short OG that does not look very athletic, but his numbers are better than you would think. He is a thick, wide body type that has decent movement and adjust in space and he posted fairly impressive numbers at the combine with an excellent VJ and SS which indicates some AA. He plays under control and gets good position, but is still aggressive and works to finish his blocks. This is a guy that plays with a lot of pride and effort and is pretty productive most of the time. He has pretty good range on pass pro and stays on his feet in the run game, however, as much as he battles, he can have some problems with a strong DT and despite his build, he's not a tremendous anchor guy. There are not a lot of short OGs playing in the NFL, but this guy will get a solid look because of his competitiveness and enough AA to intrigue teams.
