Scouting Report

Assets
  • Has tremendous strength and just destroys defenders. Possesses considerable athleticism and first-step quickness for a huge man. Gets down the field and lays people out on the second level.
Flaws
  • Runs a very slow 40-yard dash. A straight-line runner who looked lost when blocking on sweeps and screens. Doesn't get great position when pass blocking and can get beaten to either shoulder. Can get overweight and has had injury problems.
Career Potential
  • Fading prospect.
