PLAYER ANALYSIS
Dean is a strong player with good balance and a sturdy base, but when he plays tall (which is too often) rather than bending to create leverage, he robs himself of the aforementioned strengths. If he can get his pad level right, he has enough talent and strength to be a rotational 4-3 nose who can also be disruptive as a pass rusher.
