Explosive penetrating the pocket. Exceptionally strong, uses leverage well, and gets a nice burst off the snap. Commands double-teams up the middle, yet still manages to disengage and make tackles. Does a nice job getting his hands up to swat passes. Tenacious and quick and can play several D-line positions. Undersized for an interior defensive tackle, and doesn't have good speed out in space. More quick than fast, and isn't the type to chase ball-carriers up the field. Must continue developing his technique to compensate for his lack of height.

Long Range Potential: Pocket-collapsing nose tackle / defensive lineman.
