Combine 40 Speed/Bench: 5.10/26

Player Breakdown: Solid pick on a solid player. Quick. High Motor. Coaches love him. Try hard guy. Will give consistent effort. Well liked by all. Short arms. Not a playmaker, didn’t show enough flashes.
Cowboys Analysis: Better three technique than one. Will provide depth behind players like defensive tackles Maliek Collins and Cedric Thornton. Not a lock to make the final 53-man roster. A Rod Marinelli-type player.
