He's been an outstanding rookie. An A grade rookie season. He was thrown to the wolves at LT in the NFL after learning OG all summer. He should have been a disaster.

I'm not complaining at all. I just see more upside in him.

He still reaches and is off balance at times. But under the circumstances he was thrown into, he's been very good. I just think that with an offseason at LT instead of guard, he can be even better
