I’m not evaluating college DL at the moment but this rush from Mesidor stopped me in my tracks. The fluidity and speed at which he clears the corner here is really impressive

And then what Wirfs did to him when they faced off on the backside!? Talk about ELITE. My goodness.

Iowa RT Gennings Dunker puncturing a hole in the linebackers chest before finishing

Travis Burke might be the most violent finisher in the 2026 OL class. 6’9, 325 and you’re getting 5–7 knockdowns a game — not cleanup, not scheme… full-body, torque + drive finishes. Film room with Memphis RT ↓

Trent Williams putting Ojomo's face in the dirt 3x with his signature backside cut-off (snatch) technique

Hjalte Froholdt is READY for his first chance to be a full-time starter at center this season in Arizona. Whew

All it takes to be impressed by Dexter is to watch the film. These are just four examples of power and play strength that simply is unmatched in the NFL at DT

3 reps from Spencer Brown on the first drive alone 🥶

Josh Simmons frontside kick out and overtake on the *shade*. This is one difficult block and one ridiculous block.

Rookies Tyler Booker vs. Shemar Turner in two clips First, watch Turner chirping at Booker after the play Second, (4 plays later) watch Turner get baptized by Booker

Ahmad Bradshaw was such a cool player

Maliek Collins was 'cooking' in Week 2. One of the most underrated interior pass-rushers in football..4 HQ pressures here

If you miss watching Jason Kelce play, you gotta be a fan of Aaron Brewer

Bucs sure look like they hit on their first-round pick this year with Kancey.

Tyler Booker reaching Jones in a 4i 🥶🥶🥶

The Colts are scheming it up offensively but also mixing in classic, downhill, gap concepts like this Iso run. Football in its purest form right here

Tyler Booker running his feet through dudes faces x 2

Willie Lampkin (5'11" 290) pancaking four Cowboys defenders in week 1 of preseason

Colts OL coach Tony Sparano Jr on how he teaches pass protection hand usage. Two hands. Independent strikes. Circle punches. Flashes. One thing that stood out: He avoids teaching OL in absolutes &amp; instead teaches progression, reactions &amp; confidence. Good football discussion.

Talking technique with Josh Simmons; V handle, one-vs-two hand strikes, decision-making process between being aggressive, settling or expanding the set point and more

One thing Lane Johnson emphasized that young tackles often miss: Pass protection is not just getting into your set. It is route concepts, QB depth, defensive copy, set lines and staying choreographed with the players around you. Really good teaching section here from our Pass Pro Lab conversation.

Lane Johnson is entering year 14. This will be the first time he has had a new OL coach. He'll also be in a Shanahan-adjacent system. What sorts of things might be different? We talked about a lot but here's one I'm excited about: more change-up &amp; jump sets, especially off of PA

Fautanu cutting off the backside x 10

Josh Simmons' snatch-🪤 technique putting rushers on their face x 6 in Week 12

Laremy Tunsil doesn't seem to change much no matter who he's facing. Josh Simmons & I studied why. Squareness. Cleats in the ground. Consistent hands. Staying patient without giving away leverage. One of the better Tunsil discussions I've had. Pass Pro Lab:

Troy Fautanu's snatch-trap technique x 22. This was year 1 as a full-time starter at a new position 📈📈 Full 2025 highlights:

My guys along the offensive line in the 2026 NFL Draft These are the 10 OL I’d pound the table for. Traits. Roles. What actually translates. (Includes a one-page scouting reference)

Loved this answer from Vega

One of the coolest parts about studying certain OL is seeing them finish and run downfield to protect/congratulate/pick up their guys. One of the most consistent guys at it is Dalton Risner. 33 examples from his 2025 season 👇

Spencer Brown was lights out yesterday against the Broncos with several impact blocks. He has been a personal protector for Allen scrambling right all season, a weapon in the screen game and dialed in on an island using a potent snatch-trap technique and effective change-ups.

Seeing some push that Keylan Rutledge isn’t a fit for zone-based run schemes. That doesn’t line up with his tape. Here are 9 examples of high-level zone execution from this past season:

Tyler Booker 1v1 against Jalen Carter was a battle. Can't help but come away impressed by Booker's ability to go at Carter and win straight up. Not many OGs are doing that.

Damien Lewis was molly-whopping Rams defenders up and down the field in the Wildcard Round

There shouldn't be much of a discussion for 1st team All-Pro center this season with how Aaron Brewer has played and he should be on the podium for Protector of the Year. Unique player &amp; absolute weapon

Yeah, I get it

Danielle Hunter continuing to iterate and evolve
