Scouting Report
Was well-built. Had great technique as a pass protector. Was solid on his feet and used his hands well. Did not get fooled by pass-rushers very often and fought hard to push them away from the backfield. Was slow-footed. Did not have the power and strength to crush the defensive line to create running room. Was somewhat of a one-dimensional offensive lineman. Was better at guard than at center.
Long Range Potential: Solid, versatile O-lineman.
