Scouting Report
A truly unique talent and a powerful run blocker. Has superb initial quickness, superior punch, is a dominant force at the point of attack, and always seems to be in the right position at the right time. Blocks well in motion, has good agility, balance and technique. Can be a little inconsistent at times (can be slow to react, tends to be too mechanical and lacks arm strength). Needs to improve his footwork and develop a better technique in pass protection. Isn't as explosive as he sould along the line.
Long Range Potential: Excellent guard with tremendous talent.
