Analysis
Strengths
Looney is an athletic mover who is quick off the ball to get into D-linemen and get movement. He displays good technique in his sets and is very polished when using his hands. He can get upfield to hit linebackers and is effective when pulling or sealing the edge. He has been a reliable and durable interior guy at Wake Forest, and the go-to man to run behind throughout his career.
Weaknesses
Joe can struggle in his pass set at times. He has the feet to get there but will get aggressive and lose his balance on blockers at times. He can work to sit in his base better and be more effective here at the next level, but needs a good coach.
