This past fall against Kentucky he made a statement with a 78.8 overall grade and only one pressure allowed on 38 pass-blocking reps. While he didn&#8217;t grade out exceptionally well at the Senior Bowl playing a brand new position in the center, you once again saw his high-end traits from him.\u00a0 High-end explosiveness out of his stance.
