Height: 6-3

Position: DT
College: Tennessee
Analysis
Positives: Good athlete with that natural burst and snap anticipation skills to dominate coming out of his stance...Charges with explosive quickness and power...Can neutralize and control combo blocks, uses his hands with force to disengage...Has good lateral agility, finishing well on stunts...Collides with force and shows proper wrapup tackling technique...Maintains balance and uses his hands effectively to defeat low blocks...Has the ability to plant and drive on the ball, displaying above average quickness in long pursuit...Disruptive chasing the quarterback...Stays low and works his hips well shooting the gaps.
Negatives: Has very poor workout habits...Tends to put on considerable weight and shy away from the weight room when not monitored...Needs to drop twenty pounds in order to retain his explosion...Additional weight has robbed him of his lateral flexibility, but he does have an explosive straight-ahead burst...Gets too narrow based due to his soft midsection, resulting in blockers getting underneath his pads to drive him off the ball... Needs to show better leverage in his anchor...His tenacity only comes in spurts...Needs to break down and wrap better as ball carriers can elude him in space...Disrupts the action in the backfield, but just can't seem to get to the quarterback...Runs out of gas too much due to poor conditioning...Has a tendency to get too high in his stance when moving laterally and his lack of change of direction agility leaves him exposed too much...Attitude needs to be improved, as his coaches constantly got on him about his conditioning.
