Summary

May have had one of the worst workouts in Indy Combine history clocking a 610 in the 40 and a 22" VJ while running the SS in a slow 5.68. These numbers practically take him out of the draft and show a huge lack of quickness and AA. He looked sluggish and slow and will really struggle on the next level. The only thing he really has going for him is size. He is a short area guy that can engulf the defender when he gets to him and he actually looks a little more athletic on film than his numbers indicate. He has some injuries in his background and a history of not being in great shape. Because of his lack of speed and quickness, he will probably have to line up at OG on the NFL level. If he comes to camp in shape, he will have an outside shot. If he shows the same skills that were displayed at the combine, he will have an early exit from an NFL training camp.
