There are many reasons to be excited about what Dametrious Crownover will bring to the New England Patriots' offense next season.
Crownover was selected with the No. 196 overall pick in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. He, along with Utah left tackle Caleb Lomu, the No. 28 overall pick in the draft, were the two offensive linemen that the Patriots selected in the event. Crownover stands out with his athletic ability in addition to his quickness as a projected swing tackle positioned to play on either side of the ball for New England in Josh McDaniels' offense.
The Patriots compiled a highlight reel consisting of the 6-foot-7, 319-pound offensive tackle's best plays at Texas A&M on Tuesday. Crownover showed the ability to move his feet quickly off the snap and use his strength to move defenders. He created holes in the defense for his offensive backfield to exploit.
Crownover also showed that he was capable of running down the field to block defenders in the secondary, looking to bring down Texas A&M's ball-carriers in the open field.
Patriots right tackle Morgan Moses is nearing retirement. Will Campbell still has the confidence of Patriots coach Mike Vrabel as New England's starting left tackle, despite his poor performance in the Super Bowl at the end of last season.
However, Crownover has the talent to be a meaningful contributor behind Moses and Campbell out of the gates in 2026.
