The get to know
Accumulation of 2,825 Snaps allowed 7 sacks. Four of those sacks came in 2021 so he was coming off a down year for him. He was used primarily used as a zone blocker.
Good kid has some real leadership skills. Plays with high intensity Drive and will on blocks down field. His strength in both counters and pulls makes me think he could possibly allow him to also get work as a zone blocking Right Guard.
