Analysis
Strengths (Based on 2013 tape) Has a great frame with room to fill out into much thicker player. Long arms with ability to keep blockers off of him. Does a nice job with his hands, getting quick punch and working to control the line of scrimmage. Moves well down the line and plays off of the guard on stretch plays, looking to leverage the outside shoulder. Operates with quick swim move. Good motor and will pursue down the field.
Weaknesses (Based on 2013 tape) Frame is thin for interior line position. Showed some ability to hold up at point of attack, but leverage is a concern on push pocket as pass rusher.
Draft Projection: Round 5 or 6
