Mock Draft Results

Strengths

  • Classic one gap penetrator. Uses leverage to his advantage
  • Natural pass rushing skills. Started at defensive end first two years at Texas before bulking up and moving to tackle. 22 TFL and 8 sacks as a senior.
  • Stout against the run. 68 tackles in 2009, a high number for a defensive tackle.
  

Weaknesses

  • Doesn't have impressive size or bulk.
  • Inconsistent seasons at Texas. Had similar numbers in 2007, but only 23 tackles 6 TFL and 1.5 sacks in 2008. Product of system at Texas?
  • Body type and skill set is not ideal for a 3-4 scheme.
