"A smart interior offensive lineman, gets off the snap count quickly, understands the game and displays good awareness inside. Is a little high off in the pass game from a two-point stance, but does a nice job keeping his base under him, extending his arms on his punch and maintaining balance through the play. Has a quick first step, can reach linemen off his frame and redirects well laterally, maintaining his base when asked to shuffle and slide.
Isn’t the most natural of benders from a three-point stance in the run game though. His initial movement is upright and despite doing a nice job winning with his hands into contact and than getting his base under him, I’d like to see him waste less movement off the snap. Possesses average coordination through contact, isn’t overwhelming but can seal defenders before falling off the block once the run passes.
Missed most of the 2010 season with a broken ankle and even when he did play at the end of the year was rotated in and out at times.
Impression: A tough, smart gritty SEC lineman with some natural shuffle and slide ability. Would like to see him play lower off the ball in the run game, but does enough at this stage to warrant a look."
