SIZE/PHYSICAL TRAITS (4/5)

• Average center size at 6-3, 306
• Arms are on the shorter side at 31 3/4″ — can get outreached at times
• May be pigeonholed at center due to size/length and limitations as a drive blocker

PASS BLOCKING (26/30)

• Shows good sustain in pass protection
• Anchor against power rushers isn’t as firm as desired — gets walked back into the quarterback’s lap a little too often
• Zero issues matching quickness on the interior

RUN BLOCKING (15/20)

• Excellent zone-blocker — takes good angles to second level blocks and has a high success rate as a pulling lineman
• Might be scheme specific — doesn’t generate much movement as a drive blocker
• Can generate some movement when he has a big running start as he does on a lot of zone blocking concepts, but aside from that, doesn’t appear to have great natural power
• Good positional run blocker — does a great job of sealing and taking advantage of blocking angles
• Very good combo blocker

TECHNIQUE (13.5/15)

• Patient pass blocker
• Keeps pads low and maximizes leverage advantage
• Active feet to slide and mirror
• Consistent hand placement and punch timing
• Does a great job of re-fitting his hands when his initial punch doesn’t land cleanly
• Can play a little top-heavy as a run blocker

MOVEMENT SKILLS (10/10)

• Elite offensive line athlete
• Excellent foot quickness
• Excellent body control
• Crazy range as a pulling lineman — reaches landmarks most lineman couldn’t dream of
• Fluid mover in space as a puller
• Excellent recovery athleticism

MENTAL PROCESSING (9/10)

• Good blitz and stunt recognition
• Could be more aware of delayed blitzes

FUNCTIONAL STRENGTH/POWER (7/10)

• Functional strength is adequate but anchor strength is not ideal — gets walked back into the quarterback’s lap a little too easily at times, although he does re-anchor and recover well in most cases
• Doesn’t generate much movement as a drive blocker
