You rarely seem him stand straight up, make a false step or simply run himself out of a play. Great anchor player against the run. Seems to play up to the level of his competition, a big-game type who slacks off when things are out of hand, and will take some snaps off. Very strong hands and arms, can grab onto a blocker and redirect him. Lacks great closing burst and is strictly a power pass-rusher, so he must develop some counter moves.
Weight is sometimes a concern.
Good movement skills and long wingspan, will chase the ball to the opposite side of the field. Nimble feet, good linear speed and hustle. Isn't as big as some teams want their tackles, especially in light of the success the Baltimore Ravens had in 2000 with two 350-pounders lining up inside. Has a long frame, however, and should bulk up some in an NFL weight program. Has to become more of a playmaker vs. the run and pass.
