Not a star, but a multipurpose defender who'll force negative plays that don't show up on the stat sheet. Bruins played a 3-4 base with hybrid looks, and he lined up anywhere from zero tech to the offensive tackle's outside shoulder. Inside, his first step really stands out; he plays with great leverage and abuses guards when he fires under their pads. It's what makes him a bear against the run -- even though he doesn't always get tackle credit, he was the one in the backfield clogging the lane.

What suppresses his draft position is a lack of outside speed. He's lumbering and doesn't pursue in space well. He's also a little underweight for his style of play, and needs some secondary escapes when his get-off is slow.

I like him, though. He can play the left side of a four-man front, shifting inside on passing downs, or bookend a 3-4 one-gap. Dirty work run-stopper who expands the roster with his versatility.
