His pass blocking is very solid and you can see the athleticism.
If we feel like we could coach up his run blocking and get him in the gym more he could be in for 5th or 6th round consideration
He definitely has a hard cap as a ceiling. He's always going to have leverage issues because of his height, and with a narrow frame and 32-in arms, I don't think he's ever going to be a people mover. With his athletic ability, as a run blocker the best you can hope for is he can get to any spot on the field and just wall off his man rather than completely move them out of the way, but he should be a natural pass blocker against speed. He will struggle against power for sure and this is where we also have to take into account he's an older prospect so if he can put on more mass why hasn't he.
