| Strengths | Extremely versatile athlete who has played a variety of positions, not to mention a few seasons of minor league baseball. Very aggressive, feisty competitor who draws out the same in his teammates. Does everything at full speed and effort. Very good with the ball in his hands, has good elusiveness and wiggle in his hips. Presents a good target to the QB. Has shown reliable hands and the ability to hold onto the ball when making a catch in traffic and taking a hit. Attacks the defender in run blocking and uses proper technique, sinking his hips and using strong hand placement. Will be a major locker room asset, comes across as a future coach.
|
| Weaknesses | Overaged from his baseball experience, which means his body is maxed out and his developmental curve is narrow. Lacks explosiveness off the line, often got his separation thanks to scheme design and not his own ability. Does not have great speed; does not play as fast as he times. Has not done much in the way of pass protection or in-line power blocking.
