Post-snap, has precise feet to press deep into the line past defensive penetration and assess defenders. Runs gap plays frequently (limiting cutback/bounce needs) and is skilled in both gap and zone schemes, hitting the crease hard with pace and stride manipulation; footwork allows him to alter stride and pacing with his steps to get his feet over contact.
