Summary

Two year starter at OT. He is a tough, hard nosed player that competes on every play and works to finish blocks and somewhat compensates for a lack of AA and quickness. He is not a very pretty guy in space and tends to lunge and spend too much time on the ground. Not a real instinctive guy and can look bad at times. Despite his toughness and tenacity, he lacks great weight room strength and power, and his BP at Indy of 15 is not very impressive and must be improved if he is to have a chance on the NFL level. In fairness, he does play a little stronger than his strength indicates. He is a better run blocker at this stage than pass blocker, but he still may not be much more than a short area lock on guy that competes to the best of his ability with limited skills. Could easily wind up at OG or ROT.
