Chase Bisontis NFL Draft 2026 Scouting Report for Arizona Cardinals IOL

The Arizona Cardinals selected Texas A&M IOL Chase Bisontis with the No. 34 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft.

Chase Bisontis is a light-footed guard prospect who creates quick leverage and has good balance to stay centered, sustain and steer blocks. Bisontis needs to clean up his positional leverage to not open too early or lean into blocks but has the movement and recovery skills to start as a rookie and develop into a quality starter within his first contract.

Bisontis is a 6'5", 315-pound offensive guard prospect, who entered the Texas A&M program as a 4-star recruit in the 2023 class.

Bisontis started 12 games at left guard in 2025, 10 games in 2024 at left guard, missing three games with a left lower leg injury. He started 13 games during the '23 season (12 at right tackle/one at right guard), earning SEC All-Freshman Team recognition.

Where He Wins

— Light-footed mover with very good short-area quickness.

— Strikes with tight hand placement and elbows connected to hips to maximize his power output.

— Operates with a flat-back posture and even weight distribution in his pass sets.

— Balanced pass protector who can utilize independent hands to leverage and mirror rushers once engaged.

— Quality move blocker who can intersect and kick out smaller targets on climbs, screens and pulls.

Areas of Improvement

— Will open his hips early, drift and overset when being lured upfield to create a soft inside shoulder.

— Eyes tend to drop him into overextension against head-up down linemen when in the post on doubles/combo blocks.

— Below average mass and square power can knock him on his heels against power down the middle of his frame.
