Our Thoughts: The first thing you notice his excellent technique on straight rush and getting off blocks, but also on stunts. He understands leverage and uses it on virtually every play. He has a strong bull rush, but also uses other moves well. He stays persistent and keeps his eyes beyond the blocker so as to adjust to where the play is going. He often makes tackles off that trait.
