Really a total package player.
He doesn't have a super powerful punch where he's going to drive guys backwards (so maybe not an ideal short yardage sort of road grader), but he's just so damn technically sound. He'll at least slow you up and then immediately re-set. And once he gets set and has hands on you, the rep is over. As a pass blocker he can be essentially impossible to beat because even if you rock him at the snap, his feet are so good he can re-anchor and simultaneously get leverage on you (presumably his wrestling background).
He's also extremely smart so he recognizes what the DL is trying to do and is prepared for it. You're not gonna fool him very often nor are you going to be able to set him up.
He's just about a perfect 'modern' center. The Chiefs have had exceptional success at C over the years but this feels like the kind of guy who should be here for 10+ years and be in the ring of honor someday. Just a great addition to the squad.
