For a crossfitter, he's stupid strong. For a weightlifter of his size, he's average if he's in the 94 kg category but I think it's only cuz he doesn't know how to squat underneath the weight.
As he is, he has a chance to be an elite crossfitter as long as he works on his gymnastics. He'd also have a chance to be an elite weightlifter if he wanted to but every lift he does is power, as long as he keeps doing that he's kinda short changing himself.
That said, it seems he's only interested in crossfit.

He did a weightlifting comp a month or two back where he snatched 290 and c&j 352 I believe. Yea you can see he's much stronger/comfortable in the power receiving position.
He's 6' around 195 so he's not small but he's not short and yoked like some elite cf's where they're like 5'9 190-210. He's ridiculously strong though, some of his lifts make me

I'm assuming he was 85 kg category? 132/160 for an American weightlifter in that category is not bad I think. He won?

If he's only interested in crossfit, he should just work on muscle ups and his butterfly pullups and he'll be money.
Froning's best lifts is 300 lbs/370 I think

Saw this comment from him on his power lifts "I prefer to do power movements more than your conventional way. I don't know why either. Can I move the weight, sure can but power movements are better for me than it is getting under the bar. However, being a former college/NFL athlete, all we did were power snatches and power cleans from the hang position. To emphasize more explosiveness on the field. Coming into Olympic weightlifting I do have slightly tight shoulders and tight hips. The process of getting at dropping under the bar are making progress. So I'm staying n on that path."

Word man, I can dig it. But if he simply interested in crossfit, he doesn't even need to learn the full lifts.. He'll already be the best guy in the clean jerk ladder and also snatch.
Just saw right now he can hang snatch 315 pounds.. Nobody else in the crossfit games can do that!
Tight hips and shoulder explains a lot, no wonder he's not comfortable diving in the hole

I wouldn't be doing box jumps, running and double unders in vans and chucks which these shoes were created for on top of lifting.

I don't see the particular color way I like. I would probably get it but I'm fairly comfortable with doing every wod in my lifter plus shoes at this point.
