It's worth noting that Faalele is from Australia, so his exposure to American football is more limited compared to other college players.
He's continuing to grow as he gets more experience, and he's athletic for his size, so there's a lot of potential there.
What'd be best for Faalele is grooming behind a vet RT for a couple years while he continues to develop.
