◊ long frame with a solid build
◊ elite first step quickness + incredible timing; explosive get-off
◊ hand usage is Mr. Miyagi-like; his ability to displace strikes in pass rush with effortless fluidity and not lose momentum is art in motion
◊ heavy hands; jarring initial strike power
◊ using his length & strength to leverage blocks and control the POA; strong anchor and ability to shed blocks when he wants to
◊ solid pass rush arsenal including a strong rip, speed to power & vice versa
◊ typically plays with good pad level; can play a little high on stunts
◊ shows ability to utilize space & anticipate when dropping into coverage; doesn't overreact to nuance
