Best Traits/Abilities

• Crazy long arms that he utilizes consistently to get full extension against base blocks and keep opponents off his frame
• Initial pad level is usually solid, comes off the ball with decent forward lean into contact
• Pretty good target area with his punch, gives himself a chance every rep due to his hand usage
• Understands his limitations as a rusher, has double swipe and punch-swim moves to work to the edge of blockers despite not being a dip-and-rip guy
• One of the craftiest hand usage defenders in the class. Even though blockers have to know it’s coming, he’s really good at knocking hands down or swatting a blocker off balance and slipping around them through a gap. His game is massively built on deft efficiency with his hands
