| 1st season at the LOT position. Appeared top heavy. Doesn't play with a lot of power. Comes off the football well, but doesn't climb or finish consistently. At the 2nd level or on the backside, was quick to do little. Feet & pass sets were solid, but again doesn't get lockout and was not strong on his feet. Just does not bend well & lacks power. A waist bender although he covers ground and showed. Finesse rather then he is a power player. Rd 4-5. |
