Scouting Report
Stout, powerful, and very quick on the inside of the D-line. Uses a nice first step to blow past flat-footed guards and into the opposing backfield. Pretty nimble in picking up the run along the way, and an active tackler. Has huge hands and can manhandle some opponents off the snap. Has the tools to play in several alignments. Sometimes plays a bit too much like an edge rusher than a space-and-double-team-occupying pocket collapser. Can get stood up and needs to use his low base of gravity much more effectively. Won't win many foot-races down the field in open space.
Long Range Potential: Strong, athletic, but somewhat raw defensive tackle.
