He is a little bit of a question mark heading into this draft because he has a knee that has required reconstructive surgury. He has a background at OT and OG, but since his knee surgery, he appears to have lost some of his quickness and overall AA. He is a tough guy that battles on every down and in spite of limited AA, he has good balance and the ability to adjust on the move. He has good lock-on qualities and decent range at OG in his pass pro. He is probably not quick enough or athletic enough to play on an island at OT, but he is a hard working inside player and if he can pass the physicals, he could be a quality "depth" type guy for a NFL team.
