He definitely has the athleticism that was advertised. In the run game he already hooks about as well as any tackle I've ever seen. It is huge in a zone blocking scheme to have a tackle who is able to reach the end on the stretch play.
He has been less effective in the passing game, and he has given up both the edge and bull rush too often. Hopefully footwork helps improve his balance against both. I also agree he has a hard time hand fighting (specifically with getting his hands on a pass rusher).
