Just watched some film on Michael Jordan. Didn't really like what I saw.
The Good:
Quick to the second level.
Good body placement to seal the second level blocks.
At guard makes solid contact on 0 technique on the way to the second level.
The Ugly:
Bad hat placement.
Bad First step. Even though he's quick to the second level, his initial step lets him get beaten at the line.
Seems to get overpowered by bull rushes.
Feet often stop moving, not uncommon for his upper body to lean into a defender and then fall further out of position.
Overall, it comes down to his feet. With coaching maybe he gets better, but to be honest, this type of stuff is usally stuff that gets fixed at the High School level. Day 1 OL stuff is learning where to place your head, how to take a quick first step, and to always keep your feet moving. Still a bit early to call him a flop, but I'll be surprised if he manages to play well.
