Scouting Report
Can really maul opponents when he gets a lock on and is quick enough in a short area to pick up pass-rushers. Shows promising overall mobility, athleticism and especially power. Remains somewhat raw, especially on the run (in part due to his lack of major experience). Needs to answer questions about his durability. Must round out his overall skill-set as an O-lineman and work on the little things.
Long Range Potential: Quality offensive tackle.
