Grade: 67 | Key
Alert: None
Comment: He is the starting ROT and has been so since his rookie season. He is not a dominating player in any one phase, but has been a tough, durable and consistent starter for them. He has solid overall size for the position. He is a better run blocker then pass blocker. He has solid overall strength for the position. He does not have long arms for an OT, but he is physical in tight quarters. He likes to get in tight quarters and he can get a push. He has strong hands and arms to grab and control in-line. He is more of a short area player in the run game, but does flash the ability to pull effectively to the strong side. His initial quickness is just average and then does hinder him at times when he is trying to get to the cut-off block. He plays with good overall balance and body control but does not consistently find his blocks at the second level. He is a smart player who has solid instincts, but his foot quickness in space is just average. He can have some trouble on the edges versus a speed rusher. He has short arms for an OT and that allows blockers to get into his body first. He is a player that has really improved as a technician over the past few seasons. He does not really look the part of a ROT, but he has been solid for them. He is tough, durable, physical and competes every snap.
