Some people legitimately wonder if he even liked football that much. That’s not Chris Jones taking plays off in college. That’s way more concerning to me.
Again if they took him I’d get why, but man he is too risky for me. If I’m a GM I’m nervous as hell about him.

Even most of the highlight films from him show him being fairly dominant against poor competition at San Diego State on the right side or run blocking at Ohio State.
His pass pro reps from the left side at Ohio State are...fine. They're not amazing. And his best reps in pass pro came as a RT in the Mountain West. And as noted previously, the recent history of OTs from Ohio State is pretty poor. Paris Johnson and Nicolas Petit-Friere have been very underwhelming (I think NPF is a free agent at the moment). And when you start to look at his Ohio State clips you start to maybe get a feeling as to why - they have those guys mostly just going out there and mauling in the run game. They have very real issues in pass protection and don't seem to do a ton to develop it.
I just don't understand the helium here.
There are just soooooo many red flags.
