What the analysts are saying

  • "Lean, athletic guard who has the quickness to make reach blocks and backside cut-offs on the second level, but is unable to consistently handle the man in front of him." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
  • "Loses early positional advantages due to a lack of strength. Unable to handle one-on-one base blocks against power across from him. Gets ragdolled at the point of attack." - Joe Noga, Cleveland.com
