Summary He may be the biggest OT in the draft, and he uses his massive size to his advantage. He has adequate short area movement, uses his hands fairly well, and is a lock on “move the pile” type guy. He lacks overall quickness, is not a guy that can play in an island, and does not have a variety of pass protect skills. Speed and quickness will give him a lot of trouble, and as a result, he will probably wind up at ROT or ROG as a straight ahead “road grader” type. He will not be overly impressive in drills that measure AA, but NFL coaches love his size. In that area, he fits the bill.
