Pros:

– Exceptional athleticism
– High football intelligence
– Natural leader with high work ethic
– Crisp hand technique and pass sets
– Firm anchor and dynamic base in protection
– Effective vertical movement on double teams
– Ability to string out point of attack horizontally
– Projects well to gap and power concepts

Cons:

– Limited length, arm length, and overall wingspan more typical of a guard. A number of pro teams would consider him a blue-chip LT prospect as a result
– Struggles getting his hands attached to a rusher due to short arms
– Short second-level angles when climbing to pick off backside flow
– Play strength not strong enough to be seen as a pro tackle
– Inconsistent hitting of landmarks – needs more consistency
– As an outside chance to stick at left tackle, but he might actually fit better on the right side or kicking in to a guard spot.
