Summary

Somewhat of a surprise entry into this draft.. Big body type guy that has a lot of upside and pretty good experience as a 3 year starter for the University of Florida...Good in AA and overall movement....A lot of experience in pro-style offense, but is still not a polished run blocker. Individual workouts are critical and he may be a little bit of a developmental type guy. Big and physical at POA...stays on feet and moves pile....better run block than pass pro....tough and competitive....not nifty in open field short area lock on guy.
