Chase Lundt NFL Draft 2025 Scouting Report for Buffalo Bills OT

The Buffalo Bills selected UConn OT Chase Lundt with the No. 206 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft.

Chase Lundt is a four-year starter at right tackle with 13 starts at the position in 2024 inside Connecticut's 56-44 run-pass split, zone-based run scheme. Lundt has a tall frame with a lean, muscular and well-rounded build, adequate arm length and very good athletic ability.

Lundt is a twitched-up, fluid mover in the run game who executes wide zone concepts at a high level by closing ground quickly on targets to reach his landmarks with good hand placement and leg drive. Once latched, Lundt works hard to expand, widen, and seal off rush lanes on frontside kick-outs with the grip strength to keep defenders walled off. He is adept at cutting off the backside using refined footwork and quickness with the ability to intersect second and third-level targets on his climbs.

Chase Lundt Highlights

00:52

In pass protection, Lundt is a loose, explosive mover who regularly beats rushers to the spot with active, effective strikes to disrupt their timing and refit quickly once engaged. He has the range to expand his set points and carry rushers up the arc if they get on his outside edge while smoothly transitioning into his anchor against the bull rush. While his lower half mobility and able to transition into his anchor is there, his lack of mass, girth and middling lower-body strength sap his balance and ability to hold ground against defensive tackles and power rushers. Lundt also carries his hands low, leaving his chest exposed to the long arm. He breaks contact well with the trap technique but lacks the strength to prevent getting buckled when giving up the first meaningful contact.

Overall, Lundt is an experienced right tackle with a tall frame, well-rounded build and very good athletic ability to protect his edges on an island in pass protection and excel in a wide zone run scheme. His lack of mass and girth sap his ability to brace and anchor against power which calls into his ability to be an everyday starter in the NFL (especially due to being an older prospect) but he should be able to carve out a role with spot starter potential during his rookie contract.
