Watch film.... he struggles against bigger interior blockers (almost gets controlled at times).  The only time he excels in run defense is when he beats the Oline off of the snap..

his lack of stout size limits his ability to absorb blocks and fill gaps.

this is only one play, but you see it frequently in film.
