Joe Bernardi of Fresno State ~ 6.2/290
"An undersized center prospect who despite his size lacks ideal bend and flexibility off the football. Doesn't really sit far into his stance, is one of the higher offensive linemen sitting on the offensive line and struggles to really get under the pad level of defenders. Sill is able to create some leverage for himself, but not nearly as much as you would imagine for a guy his size. Doesn't do a great job using his hands either to get under defenders and stick through the play. Seems more like a shoulder blocker inside who will struggle to not only generate movement but stick to defenders in the run game.
Does a better job sitting into his stance and trying to play with better leverage when asked to slide his feet in the pass game. Isn't as rangy or fluid when asked to mirror as his body type would indicate, but does do a better job generating more power on his punch into contact and has a little anchor strength in tight areas. However, isn't a guy who can stay engaged through contact vs. bigger, more physical linemen.
Impression: Is a decent athlete for the position, but not overly athletic or flexible for his size. Doesn't stand out in any area enough to warrant a draft pick and doesn't look like a roster guy to me."
