Analysis
Strengths
Outstanding arm and body length and overall size. Is not easily moved off a spot. Can anchor vs. the double team and clog lanes. Very tough and durable. Plays through injuries. Versatile and has experience lining up anywhere along a "30" front.
Weaknesses
Not an accomplished pass rusher -- hand use is unrefined and displays minimal acceleration and closing burst. Has to figure out how to work half a blocker. Tends to rise straight up out of his stance and stays blocked too long. Limited playing range. Lacks urgency. Has a hearing impairment in one ear.
Draft Projection
Rounds 2-3
Bottom Line
A very big, strong, two-gapping plugger ideally suited to stack the corner of an odd front. Will make a living digging his feet in the dirt and defending the run. Has enough athletic ability and movement skill to be disruptive inside, and versatility is a plus. -Nolan Nawrocki
