Chiefs summer scouting: Texas A&M Aggies offensive line
The Kansas City Chiefs turned over two positions along their offensive line this summer and could explore more changes next spring depending on the performances of Jawaan Taylor and Kingsley Suamataia. Fans should closely monitor the Texas A&M Aggies offensive line for potential Chiefs targets in the 2026 NFL draft.
Four of Texas A&M's starting offensive linemen possess NFL talent. Unlike Clemson's defensive front, the Aggies don't have any future first round selections in the trenches. However, the collection of fourth through sixth round prospects makes the unit one of college football's most talented fronts.

The four Aggies eyeing NFL futures include left guard Chase Bisontis, right tackle Dametrious Crownover, right guard Ar'maj Reed-Adams and left tackle Trey Zuhn III. Backup right tackle Reuben Fatheree II, who previously lost his starting role to Crownover, also has the potential to attract attention from the NFL.
Bisontis is a quick guard with exceptional range in the run game. He's at his best on the move due to his unique mobility, speed and understanding of angles when operating in space. Bisontis is an aggressive blocker who seeks pancake opportunities, but he ended up on the wrong end of some clashes in 2024 against powerful opponents like Vernon Broughton, Alfred Collins and Cam'Ron Jackson.
Reed-Adams meets all of the league's size requirements and overwhelms undersized defensive tackles. His broad frame and NFL-caliber power make him an imposing interior presence capable of anchoring against power rushers or torquing defenders out of gaps. His core and grip strength jump off the tape.
However, Reed-Adams' agility and lack of suddenness make it easier for twitchy interior rushers to capture his outside shoulder. His mental processing speed must improve to negate some of his athletic limitations. Reed-Adams' impact in the run game is inconsistent because of concerns with his balance, pad level and range.

Crownover is a hulking offensive lineman with a prototypical frame for an NFL tackle. When he engages his hands early in plays, Crownover uses his sheer size and power to overwhelm smaller edge rushers. Many pass rushers fail to threaten his anchor with power or escape his reach with explosiveness.
Crownover's size is a double-edged sword. He plays with a high pad level and mediocre foot speed that limit his range and leverage. His hand usage leaves plenty to be desired. Crownover's lack of ideal athletic traits and poor leverage limit his ceiling.
Zuhn is a beloved leader who served as a team captain in 2024. He's a quick processor and high IQ prospect with polished hand usage that makes up for some of the issues with his arm length. Zuhn frames blocks well and quickly refits his hands to maintain leverage. Unfortunately, his poor foot speed, average anchor and forward lean in his pass set suggest he should transition to playing guard in the NFL.
