• Footwork into block fits needs work.
• Gets into blocks with wide hands.
• Waist-bender and head-ducker at point of attack.
• Angles to second level lack accuracy.

Gotcha.
Musta not remembered it from reading the NFL.com prospect profile.
Regardless, I don't think he's going to struggle as a blocker just because of the things you have listed.
I think he'll still be used to block and will be fine, only going to get even better with better technique and footwork.
