Has had some off field issues which will need to be addressed. Former OB. Lean looking cut up athlete. Has a hot and cold playing motor. Undersized to factor as down linemen full time(not good match up)and needs space to operate, but has rare take off skills and the ability to close on the football. Excellent playing range. Can retrace his steps and run down the ball carrier from the backside. Was run at some. Late 1st round draft consideration.
