"Last week's camp saw first-round Caleb Lomu exclusively take reps at left tackle, and it may be a sign that Will Campbell could eventually be moving inside to guard after a troubling end to his rookie season. But while Campbell's future at tackle may be up in the air because of Lomu's presence (and Lomu may not stick at left tackle), he may have an unexpected competitor in sixth-round pick Dametrious Crownover."
""Another gigantic tackle, Crownover keeps his massive frame under control off the edge and brings real potential as a run blocker," Brugler wrote in an article on Monday morning. He's another player who could perform immediately as a swing tackle before blossoming into something more." Dametrious Crownover could be another threat to Will Campbell's future at tackle"
"Crownover lasted until the sixth round of the draft, but he put together some solid tape before a rough final season at Texas A&M. According to Pro Football Focus, Crownover posted an overall grade of 77.0 during the 2023 season and 75.3 during the 2024 season. He was even better in pass protection with 31 pressures and one sack allowed in 540 pass-blocking snaps between the two seasons, but things unraveled during the 2025 campaign."
"A 65.2 overall grade showed how much Crownover slipped during his final season but so did his pass protection numbers that saw him allow 27 pressures and two sacks in 407 pass-blocking snaps. Even more alarming was that his 11 penalties were almost double the previous three seasons combined (6). Still, Brugler had Crownover ranked as his No. 14 offensive tackle thanks to his raw tools,"
Caleb Lomu took exclusive left-tackle reps in camp, suggesting Will Campbell could eventually move inside to guard after a difficult rookie season. Campbell’s long-term tackle role may be uncertain depending on whether Lomu sticks at left tackle. Dametrious Crownover, a sixth-round pick from Texas A&M, adds depth and could challenge for tackle snaps as a swing option. Dane Brugler projects Crownover as a potential immediate contributor as a swing tackle who could develop further. Crownover showed solid overall grades across 2023 and 2024 and performed well in pass protection, but his final season in 2025 included a drop in overall grade, more pressures and sacks allowed, and a higher penalty total. Despite the decline, Brugler ranked him highly for raw tools and upside.
