Kancey possesses a powerful lower body and excellent leverage for a smaller interior player. He uses his strength to control blockers and collapse the pocket from the inside. Kancey is also quick off the snap and has an impressive first step that allows him to penetrate into the backfield and disrupt plays. While Kancey is a powerful and disruptive defender, he still has room for improvement in his technique and pass-rushing moves. He tends to rely on his strength and athleticism to win battles but will need to develop a more refined technique to beat NFL-caliber offensive linemen consistently.
