Seems lost in the shuffle right now, but he's an intriguing five-tech prospect. Although he's a bit linear as a rusher, he can break down in space and closes fast on ball-carriers. Good punch, good jump (for his size) at the line of scrimmage helps him win a lot of battles.

But like most college players with his height, he loses leverage too often. Stands up when trying to find the ball and will get bulldozed out of the play. Needs more weapons from a technique standpoint.

I like him as a value pick, however, as he's a solid athlete for his position and has some unearthed ability. Third to fourth round.
