Official Bio

Strengths:
Has excellent size and bulk with a huge frame...Very strong and powerful....Stout at the point of attack...Does a terrific job against the run...Good bull rusher...Real active with a good motor...Very smart...A hard worker and good leader...Versatile.

Weaknesses:
Has had some off-the-field troubles...Might be a bit of a 'tweener...Timed speed is well below average...Not very explosive and lacks a burst..Plays with inconsistent leverage and needs to work on his technique....Marginal instincts and awareness.

Notes:
Was slated to attend Vanderbilt out of high school but was sent to prison for 15 months for having sexual relations with a minor, although the conviction was later overturned when the Georgia Supreme Court ruled the sex was consensual...His case attracted extensive media attention and was featured on programs such as Oprah and HBO's Real Sports...Could realistically play defensive end in either a 4-3 or a 3-4 scheme and could even move inside..Interesting developmental prospect.
