Weaknesses

Below-average length. Will struggle reaching/combating speed rushes. Choppy steps and narrow base can lead to vulnerability versus power rushes. Anchor power can be challenged in general. Stronger defenders with length can reach his frame and push him off. Lack of length will lead to some lunging block attempts. Will lose balance and get knocked to the ground. Has some trouble getting low in short-yardage situations.
