| A fluid big man. Has rare size, firm hands and physical dexterity. Tracks the ball well and was particularly adept on both fades and stop routes. Releases were just adequate (doesn't scream off the line) and will need work vs the press. Wasn't physical as a runner and did little away from the football(won't block). Doesn't run through the ball on comebacks. I felt he gave up on balls and goes down too easily. Has tools but is a work in progress |
