Several articles have mentioned the improvements Sherrod has made in upper body strength while rehabbing his leg. Apparently, he has been a good student too, as this article mentions.

A few tidbits from it, including comments from the d-linemen that go against him in practice:
Sherrod, who bench-pressed just 23 times at the combine, has improved his strength precipitously, according to Campen.
"I mean, he's a strong kid," Campen said. "He's 100% assignment-sure. Based on where he's come from to get here, it's exciting."
Nevertheless, the only regular-season tape of Sherrod wasn't pretty. In 112 snaps (39 at left tackle, 73 at right tackle) two seasons ago, he allowed one sack, two knockdowns and four hurries for a pressure per snap rate of one every 16.0.
......
"Put it like this: I have to be at the top of my game whenever I'm lined up across from him," said Daniels. "I already knew he was going to be strong because he's a big guy, but he's a lot faster than I thought.
"I'm talking about getting off the ball. He'll cut you off and reach you in the run game.
"Now, it's practice. We're going hard but we're not trying to kill each other. I guess I haven't felt him go 110% like in a game but I do feel he definitely has that drive to him. He's a good, solid football player."
Added nose tackle Ryan Pickett: "He's starting to get his confidence back. I don't know what their plan is, but he's constantly getting better."
Defensive end Jerel Worthy, who underwent reconstructive knee surgery Jan. 15 and resumed practice last week, has put in many grueling rehabilitation days alongside Sherrod.
"You could tell he's really hungry," said Worthy. "As far as practice goes, he moves as well as any other offensive lineman we have. Everything you'd ask him to do as an offensive lineman he virtually can do right now."
