New England Patriots selected Texas A&M OL in sixth round of NFL draft
· Yahoo Sports
With the XX overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft, the XX selected Texas A&M offensive lineman and former starting right tackle Dametrious Crownover on Saturday afternoon in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Crownover ended his productive A&M career with 1,886 snaps at right tackle for the Aggies. As a senior, he recorded 16 games at right tackle and allowed just two sacks on the year. Also allowing 27 pressures, Crownover's 6'7", 335-pound frame, and improved mechanics, he possesses the necessary athletic traits to become a reliable starter. His primary position is at right tackle.

According to Pro Football Focus, Crownover earned a 58.4 pass blocking grade, but did thrive as a run blocker, and has all the potential to become a lock-down tackle in pass protection if his footwork and hand placement improve with the new coaching staff. One of the top performers at the Senior Bowl, Crownover's potential was evident to every scout in attendance.
As a former tight end in high school, it's no surprise that Crownover, who was once considered a likely undrafted free agent, increased his stock in the matter of months, especially after 40-plus starts at right tackle in the SEC, which is highly valuable for any coaching staff.
