Strengths

  • Super athletic - Made Bruce Feldman's Freak's List at #16. He Wrote:
  • "His power is something special. He benches 485, squats 605 and deadlifts 700. He also can really move, clocking 18 MPH on the GPS and running a 4.68 pro shuttle. The only defensive tackle over 300 pounds at the combine with a faster shuttle this year was Wisconsin’s 309-pound Keeanu Benton, who ran a 4.65.
  • Lightning-quick first step for a 320-pounder creates immediate penetration and disrupts timing on both run and pass plays
  • Maintains exceptional leverage with natural pad level that allows him to anchor against double teams and control interior gaps
  • Demonstrates violent hand technique with a punishing punch that sheds blocks and creates separation from offensive linemen
  • Relentless motor drives him sideline-to-sideline with impressive pursuit speed that defies his size and weight class
  • Versatile skill set enables him to excel at multiple techniques across the defensive line from nose tackle to three-technique
  • Proven run defender who consistently makes tackles at or behind the line of scrimmage while controlling gaps
  • Emerging pass rusher whose combination of power and quickness creates consistent pressure up the middle of the pocket

Areas to Improve

  • Limited starting experience with only three full seasons as a primary contributor may indicate adjustment period at next level
  • Occasionally rises up with high pad level which negates his natural leverage advantage against interior offensive linemen
  • Pass rush arsenal relies heavily on bull rush technique and needs more counter moves to become elite interior rusher
  • Can struggle to disengage quickly when initially stalemated, allowing offensive linemen to sustain blocks longer than desired
  • Conditioning questions remain given his size and the demands of playing every down at the professional level
