Weaknesses

- Shorter arms than talent evaluators would like, 31 5/8 inches;

- Lacks an assortment of pass rush moves, relying on pure bull rushes in college. NFL coaching will have its work cut out to develop a variety of pass rush moves;
- Despite his first quick step, Regis slows down considerably from there. It is like he loses steam and either isn’t how to maintain acceleration or loses focus;
- At just 6’1 and 315 pounds, Regis is undersized and at a disadvantage against taller guards and centers. He will need to increase his mass and help lower his center of gravity to succeed against top offensive linemen;
- Regis left the Aggies’ contest with Miami in the College Football Playoffs early, taken out due to an undisclosed injury. Some scouts wonder about his durability.
