Comments:
2/14/2010- vs. Kentucky (replay)- Bulky body with good height. I'm not sure he will measure 6' 6". Quick feet and athletic. Will get beat by faster pass rushers (1st 4:24). Doesn't slide as well as he should and form the pocket. 2nd play in a row where hes beaten around the edge and is thrown to the ground. (1st 3:54). Yet again beaten around the edge. He keeps getting pulled into the DE and then the DE just throws him aside. (1st 3:45). Missed his man who made the tackle in the backfield. (2nd 0:37). Decent job of pushing the DE wide. (2nd 0:33). Good job maintaining the block. Locked on and stayed with it. (2nd 0:21). Blocked the wrong guy and let his man go for a free hit on the QB. (2nd 0:15). Does seem to have the mobility to slide and form the wall. May need to be moved to RT or even G. Another attempt to go low when he was beaten around the edge. (3rd 6:17). Tries to stay with his blocker but can get muscled around pretty easily. (3rd 0:45). Does not seem to have the mobility to be a LT or maybe even a RT in the NFL (4th 9:49). Lumbers, and was beaten around the edge repeatedly. Also does not seem to have adequate strength. He doesn't get good push and has been mandhandled too often in this game.
