Scouting Report

Assets
  • A short, thick, low center-of-gravity type. Has a wide base and legs and can be tough to bring down. Changes directions quickly. Finishes his runs. Has good vision and balance and doesn't dance to the line.
Flaws
  • Fumbles. Isn't much of a pass blocker. Not an outstanding receiver. Lacks top speed and power. Was hurt much of last season and may not be durable.
Career Potential
  • Good backup.
