Scouting Report
He was downright dominant protecting the quarterback thanks to rare quickness, overall mobility and great technique for a player with mammoth size. He was a master with his hands and was never off-balance. He did not make many mistakes at all, despite being very active throughout the play. Worked hard on and off the field, and was a true team leader. Was not always as overpowering in run-blocking schemes as he was when asked to protect the pass. Also, he was not really the nastiest intimidator that he could have been, considering his fantastic skill set.
Long Range Potential: One of the all-time best offensive tackles.
