Scouting Report
Commands double-teams constantly, and is explosive for his size. Brings some nice moves getting to the QB. Well-sized for the D-line, with a fantastic wingspan that helps him play even bigger. Uses his reach to collapse the pocket and head off ball-carriers through the gaps. Defends passes with his long arms. A leader in the locker room. Conditioning is an issue and he runs out of gas after a high number of snaps. Not very fast out to the sidelines. His run-stopping is good but can be inconsistent. Could get even more leverage from his length and power.
Long Range Potential: Explosive pocket-collapsing star defensive tackle.
