Ar'maj Reed-Adams NFL Draft 2026 Scouting Report for Buffalo Bills IOL

The Buffalo Bills selected Texas A&M IOL Ar'maj Reed-Adams with the No. 241 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft.

Ar'maj Reed-Adams is a densely built, long and physical guard prospect with a sturdy anchor and good power on feeds, slabs and down blocks to create movement. However, below-average quickness, late hands and inconsistent body control limit his sustain skills. Reed-Adams projects as a reserve guard with the size and demeanor to provide depth value.

Reed-Adams is a 6'6", 314-pound guard prospect who entered the Kansas program as a 3-star recruit in the 2021 class. He started 15 games over four seasons before transferring to Texas A&M in 2024.

The former Aggie started 26 games at right guard during his two year stint in College Station. Reed-Adams participated in the 2026 Shrine Bowl.

Where He Wins

- Broad frame, long arms and good power to uncork on adjacent defenders.

- Brings thump on double-team feeds and uncovered finding work to dent targets and clear space.

- Stymies the bull-rush to die slowly in his anchor and keep the pocket in tact.

- Physical, aggressive demeanor with consistent effort to strain through the whistle.

Areas of Improvement

- Doesn't always maximize his length and tends to play short, catch blocks and let defenders into his frame.

- Struggles to deliver power on angle-drive and base blocks.

- Top-heavy with leaning tendencies leave him vulnerable to the push-pull technique getting him overextended.
