A raw, intriguing project. His athleticism is special, shown in his fluidity on the field and confirmed during testing (4.71 in the 40, 31 bench reps). You see it when he pulls -- he explodes to the second level -- and also in pass protection, especially when he redirects multiple rushers on a single play.

Weak lower body, however. His base lets him down when trying to drive block or keep balanced; smaller defenders can push him around with leverage. While he gets to assignments quickly, he misuses his hands and doesn't always get a seal. And this is all against FCS competition.

He needs plenty of growth in his footwork and strength before you can put him up against NFL edge defenders, which is scary depending on how high he goes. But the upside is there, particularly for zone-blocking teams.
