Rod Johnson of Western Kentucky ~ 5.11/267
"A thick, well-built fullback who has great size for the position. Does a decent job sitting into his stance as a lead blocker, but has a tendency to stand far too upright off the snap. Allows his pad level to get too high, doesn't showcase much of a burst when asked to press the hole and although he does try to sink his hips and generate some leverage on contact, he still allows himself to get way too high.
Doesn't really keep his base under him through contact, leads with his shoulder and doesn't exhibit a ton of snap on contact. Doesn't do a good enough job extending his arms and gaining leverage on contact and is easily shed and disengaged from after the initial blow. Takes decent angles on perimeter runs and has some body control to his game when asked to be patient and break down. But there's just no snap and he doesn't stay on defenders to finish.
Isn't real athletic out of the backfield; seems to lumber out into the flat. Isn't a guy who can create separation for himself in the pass game. Displays average body control when asked to adjust to throws off his frame. Isn't a natural plucker and looks to bring everything into his body, but can adjust for the quarterback.
Impression: Has some intriguing size as a lead blocker, which could get him a look. But doesn't have a real snap, isn't a great athlete and struggles to stay on blocks through the play."
