He'll be a great player, in a division with even fronts on defense. Or on a team that runs a lot of traps, counters, and likes to pull the Center on screens. However, in the AFCN, he's going to have a huge NT in his face all the time.
Quote:Weaknesses Played lighter than he needs to be as a pro. Has to continue to add functional mass to his frame. Power at the point of attack is average. Bull-rushers make him work overtime to maintain his anchor. Will struggle to recover if nose guards get hands on him first. Target points can be too high in pass sets causing hands to slide up and off opponent. Gets in a hurry to climb on top of second level linebacker and will leave initial block unsecured for guard next to him. Scheme didn't allow for much drive blocking.
It says right there that he struggles with Nose Guards and Bull-rushers.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
