Draft Scouting Report:

Rating: 72.16 (Chance to start)

Pro Comparison: Leki Fotu

Strengths:

Somewhat of a modern-day NT. Not wide-bodied. Long and athletic and carries nearly 330 pounds extremely well. College defense asked him to stunt way more often than he will in the NFL. Flashed a nice swim and when allowed to get upfield, his bull rush was typically effective. Good balance to fight through lateral blocks. Large tackling radius. His long arms certainly help dispatch blockers in the run game.

Weaknesses:

Hand-work is not high-caliber. Not a super-gifted block defeater. Wasn't overly productive as a pass rusher.

Accolades:

  • 43 career games played (25 starts)
  • 2021: Set career highs in tackles (27) and TFL (5.0)
