Positives: Tall, strong tackle with potential as a nose tackle at the next level despite playing three-technique in college. Can be explosive off the snap, getting a nice push when his coming low from his stance, and has the balance to spin off blocks and the mobility to move laterally in short areas. Good hustle to the ball, competes every snap when rested. His height and length make it difficult for quarterbacks to throw over him.

Negatives: Plays too tall at times, allowing lineman to get their hands into his jersey to stand him up. Only adequate finding the ball in the backfield. A bit heavy-footed, lacks great closing speed to make plays outside the box. Stamina may be an issue when going up against stronger lineman at the next level.

--Chad Reuter

    • Exactly, like Hill he is just an athlete that happens to be able to throw the ball.  I’m sure, with some reps and time, he could catch just fine.  That’s why I said “and catch” Taysom Hill has beat the poo out of us and many other teams during the SP years.  If we had that!!!  Owe Mang!   Edit:  I’ll add this, 4th and 1 or 2 on the goal line?  We would get 6 points with that dude! Edit 2:  he may not now or ever be a QB1, but he can avg more than 6 yards per play
    • Eh that's debatable at the end of the day. Different schools of thought and whatnot. Generally teams are not overpaying RB's anymore and they don't need to. Most are signing mid-level FA's or drafting them. But they are still fairly important. We have seen one RB drafted in the top 10 in 2025 and an RB just went 3rd overall in the draft a few days ago. You can argue how wise that is but no team generally wants to give an FA RB a huge payday. Yes having a competent and if need be dominant running game is still an asset. The main thing that has changed is how teams invest.
    • Except we have him playing safety, so there's that.
