Ar’maj Reed-Adams is not just massive; he is a power-schemed run blocking guard who has a nasty streak as a blocker.

Ar’maj Reed-Adams 2026 NFL Draft Overview

With 56 games of experience at both Kansas and Texas A&M, scouts have seen enough to know his game transfers well to the pro game. He has the physical tools to excel and is not afraid of contact in the trenches and clearing out space for running backs. Many are concerned with the number of penalties he racked up in college, and coaches will have work to do to refine his game. There is some concern about his durability, with shoulder surgery in 2024 leading to some doubt if he can stand up to the battles in trenches against top nose tackles.

Weaknesses

• Consistency in his hand placement is a concern, as they often move too high or too wide
• Reed-Adams struggles with lateral quickness, and he looks overmatched against speed rushers
• He needs to work on handling stunts and blitzes
• Age is a concern: Reed-Adams turns 25 in his rookie season, older than teams prefer in a developmental offensive line prospect.
• He often stands up too quickly on the snap and loses his ability to withstand tackles that have a much lower center of gravity.
• Reed-Adams has significant room to grow as a pass blocker, struggling with stunts and blitzes.
• Scouts are concerned about Reed-Adams weight – he has weighed in previously at 400 pounds.
• His shoulder injury from 2024 alarms some scouts, as it is uncertain if both shoulders can take the rigors of playing guard in the NFL.
