Has first step quickness if he keeps his pad level down. Must
work to play with good knee bend. Is easily cut when he gets too
high. Clogs up the “A” gap with penetration and strength. Gets
push up inside as a pass rusher and gets his hands up. Causes
hurries. Tough in a short area. Locks out, separates, and makes
a play. Effective movement on twist stunts. Fights to hold his
