What the analysts are saying
- "Hitch in his punch allows defenders to land first. Plays with wide hands. Feet are heavy. Will lean laterally to make up for sluggish mirror and can be knocked off-balance." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
- "He possesses the core strength and flexibility to handle bull rushers, playing with his knees bent and butt down."
- Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
