Shove is powerful enough to knock opponents off-balance. Shows a pretty solid understanding of positioning to wall off opponents and is virtually impossible to work through in the run game. Pass-protects from a wide base with adequate bend and good extension. Proactive with his hands, generally getting good extension, with strong overall placement.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["338643"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Plays the game with competitiveness, physicality, and a killer instinct; no questions about his temperament or toughness. Shows a solid understanding of positioning in the run game. Good enough athlete to get up to the second level and engage. Functional strength is very good, with active hands and the ability to jolt defenders on contact. Has active feet to grind down defenders and generate movement in a phone booth. Works hard through the whistle, with adequate hand placement and a strong grip to sustain.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1138856"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"His grip strength is impressive, allowing him to sustain through the whistle. Has active feet after engaging to generate movement in the run game. Able to attack the outside shoulder and drive edge defenders off of their spots. Works hard to secure blocks in space, whether in the run game or when blocking for screens. Pass sets look solid, with a straight back, adequate knee bend, and controlled kickslide. Lateral quickness to mirror is adequate for a tackle, with above-average agility. Does a nice job of placing his hands in pass protection, with good activity when firing his punch and the ability to reset effectively.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["570488"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Looks fast in a straight line, with the short-area quickness to climb to the second level and engage in space, or cross and hook defenders.

Shows active feet after contact to generate movement. Works hard to sustain through the whistle and shows impressive grip strength to stay locked on. Finishes when he has defenders on the ropes. Technically-sound kick slide with some knee bend, an appropriately-wide base, and excellent balance.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":4,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65c7f147e6cdc"} /-->
