Scouting Report
A consistent run-stuffer who brings great physical tools to the middle of the D-line: a giant wingspan, huge hands, superb mass, and excellent strength. Possesses uncommon athleticism and quickness for a guy his size, and is a powerhouse bull-rusher when not stuffing the run. Has the power to start at the nose and the quickness for some defensive end. Must keep developing his overall technique to get the most from his elite-level physical tools. Can get neutralized by double teams at times (when blockers get leverage on him). Can be even more of a playmaker.
Long Range Potential: Long, athletic, explosive interior D-tackle with star starter talent.
