Scouting Report
Has great mobility in the open field. Ideally-sized for the NFL D-line (in both height and bulk), with the athleticism and speed to legitimately start at any of several positions along the line. Solid collapsing the pocket, with immense potential as a disruptive inside force. Seems lost in the open field at times, and isn't at all the sacks or tackles factor he could be. Needs to get his hands up in passing lanes more often. Must demonstrate the maturity to keep focused and avoid taking bad penalties. Durability is somewhat a question mark.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent but super-athletic defensive tackle, with star tools.
