Scouting Report

Assets
  • A very experienced and professional player who could fill in anywhere on the O-line. Learned the system, adapted quickly, and gave his best shot on every snap.
Flaws
  • Was much better as a run-blocker than pass protector. His overall skills were somewhat unrefined; never quite found his niche along the O-line, which limited him getting the most out of his talent.
Career Potential
  • Decent rotational offensive lineman.
  • AwardsNFL - Super Bowl
