PLAYER ANALYSIS
Team captain and three-year starter who is short on traits and athleticism but plays with savvy and determination. He wasn't asked to do much move-blocking in Mississippi State's rushing attack and could struggle with that request as a pro, but he has upper-body power to wall and seal down-blocks and stalemate opponents as a drive-blocker. Athleticism and balance concerns could show themselves in NFL pass protection, but he does find ways to hang in and recover. He has center/guard roster flexibility and could compete for a backup role.
