DID NOT DECLARE.

He also played very well in 2008, and began to draw some serious attention from NFL scouts. His post-season awards are just beginning to come in as of this writing, and they will be considerable.

Thick, wide-based, nasty athlete who plays with a chip on his shoulder and really gets after it--especially in the run game. Technically solid, and strong. Quick. Explosive out of his stance. Efficient puller who usually makes solid contact. Delivers a pop on contact. Uses hands well. Phone booth brawler.

A bit straight-linish. Hips aren't as loose as you'd like to see, and he sets up a bit awkwardly in pass pro. Overall, his technique is solid, but he sometimes takes short cuts and gets lazy or wears down late in certain games, and lets the DT get under his pads. Not the biggest OG candidate around.

5-6th rounder.
