Dametrious Crownover NFL Draft 2026 Scouting Report for New England Patriots OT

The New England Patriots selected Texas A&M OT Dametrious Crownover with the No. 196 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft.

Dametrious Crownover is a towering figure, who casts a wide net to cover up targets initially while bringing good physicality and effort as a finisher. These traits are accompanied by mediocre lateral quickness, an upright play-style and shaky anchor, which will make it difficult to rely on him as anything more than a long-term developmental tackle with swing upside during his rookie contract.

The 6'7", 319-pound offensive line prospect entered the Texas A&M program as a 3-star tight end recruit in the 2021 class. Crownover made the transition to the offensive line during his redshirt freshman year.

The former Aggie started his first game at offensive line at right tackle as a redshirt sophomore in 2022 before becoming a full-time starter over the last two seasons.

Where He Wins

— Massive frame with excellent length and wingspan.

— Casts a wide net with his length in pass protection that can make it a chore for basic high-side pass-rush moves to work.

— Plays hard, runs his feet and strains to finish blocks.

— Excels covering up and feeding defensive tackles over during double-teams.

Areas of Improvement

— Poor lateral quickness when stepping under himself to redirect and regularly falling behind moves across his face.

— Upright play-style with wide hand-placement exposes his chest and results in a soft, tardy anchor.

— Marginal use of hands leaves him late, off-target and scrambling too often.
