After having a program-record and country-leading 13 players from Texas A&M football invited to the 2026 NFL Combine, it’s obvious NFL scouts and general managers alike admire what this potential set of Aggies could bring to their 53-man rosters. While not every Fightin’ Farmer is a guaranteed Day 1 starter, they can still offer value down the draft boards.
Whether it’s filling a massive gap or adding depth in preparation for an impending free agency, this band of Aggies has the chance to leave a Maroon footprint on the NFL. Predicting every player’s destination is certainly a tall task — 1 in 32.9 quintillion odds, to be exact — but it’s one I’m willing to tackle.
KC Concepcion: Buffalo Bills
With former offensive coordinator Joe Brady now calling the shots as head coach, the Bills could certainly look to bolster Josh Allen’s receiving room late in the first round. Combined with newly acquired DJ Moore and the underwhelming Keon Coleman, KC Concepcion has the chance to explode statistically and stylistically in Brady’s scheme, getting fed routinely by the 2024 MVP. Buffalo needs to capitalize on Allen’s prime, and the value for this pick is too good to pass up for Bills President of Football Operations and general manager Brandon Beane.
Cashius Howell: New England Patriots
The Patriots have already proven they are not scared of selecting players with less-than-ideal arm length, and Cashius Howell is just what New England needs off the edge. While not the biggest name, the departure of K’Lavon Chaisson has left a massive hole at pass rusher in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Howell’s horrific measurables have moved him down the consensus boards, but the Patriots and Executive Vice President of Player Personnel Eliot Wolf don’t have the time or roster to be picky.
Chase Bisontis: Houston Texans
If the Texans want to keep CJ Stroud alive and, more importantly, effective, then they need to add some strength to the interior of their offensive line. A plus-athlete at guard like Chase Bisontis is just what Houston needs to protect its hopeful franchise QB. Who knows, maybe without linemen blocking each other and sextuple-teaming the same defender, the Texans can keep Stroud upright.
Will Lee III: Washington Commanders
After reaching the NFC Championship in 2024, the Commanders saw a sharp decline in 2025 with the fifth-worst passing defense in the NFL. Adding an experienced plus-size corner like Will Lee III late in the draft would be excellent depth for new defensive coordinator Daronte Jones. “The Blanket” is also unafraid of creating contact with opponents, matching Washington’s aggressive play style.
Trey Zuhn III: Cincinnati Bengals
It’s no secret how bad the Bengals’ pass protection has been in recent years, and with veteran center Ted Karras not getting any younger, Trey Zuhn III could serve as an excellent understudy. Zuhn looked very competent in his snaps at center for A&M in 2025, and, with some time under his belt, he could become a more-than-serviceable option for protecting Joe Burrow.
Dametrious Crownover: Philadelphia Eagles
What better place for a raw offensive lineman with a massive frame like Dametrious Crownover to sit and learn than Philadelphia? While they no longer have Jeff Stoutland coaching up the hogs, Crownover couldn’t ask for a better mentor at right tackle than Lane Johnson, who has to retire eventually. Developing in the City of Brotherly Love could transform Crownover into a formidable blocker on what is already one of the best-constructed rosters.
Tyler Onyedim: Detroit Lions
Did someone say biting kneecaps? The Lions have been plagued by injuries on the defensive line in recent seasons, so adding Tyler Onyedim to the interior is just what Detroit needs. With a defensive tackle room consisting of Tyleik Williams and Alim McNeill, Onyedim could rotate in as part of defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard’s 4-3 front. Onyedim joining would also surely raise a Gig ‘em out of Lions head coach Dan Campbell ‘99.
Nate Boerkircher: Los Angeles Chargers
It feels like Nate Boerkircher would fit perfectly on head coach Jim Harbaugh’s Chargers. While Oronde Gadsden II serves as Justin Herbert’s main vertical threat at tight end, Boerkircher could be utilized as a plus-blocker with reliable checkdown-worthy hands. A draft pick that could help keep Herbert upright and catch his passes, Boerkircher would be an excellent puzzle piece to add for new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel.
Taurean York: Jacksonville Jaguars
Despite trading its first-round pick this year in the Travis Hunter trade, Jacksonville still has 11 picks. And considering the departure of Devin Lloyd combined with Foyesade Oluokun’s inevitable regression, the Jaguars will need to use some of those picks to replenish their depth at linebacker. York’s intelligence and grasp on the game has the potential to fast-track him from special teamer to defensive contributor.
Albert Regis: New Orleans Saints
With defensive coordinator Brandon Staley’s 3-4 formation, the Saints are in dire need of a space-eating nose guard to clog the middle. After having a bottom-half run defense in 2025, adding a mauling defensive tackle like Albert Regis would bring some serious beef to the trenches in New Orleans. While he lacks pass rush upside, the Saints could look at Regis late on Day 3 as solid value considering how bad things have gotten in “The Boot.”
Ar’maj Reed-Adams: Denver Broncos
Starting right guard Ben Powers is in the final year of his deal, and taking a late flier on Ar’maj Reed-Adams could give the Broncos some insurance in the trenches. Plus, if head coach Sean Payton wants to carry over momentum from last season, then bringing in the high-level experience of Reed-Adams could be crucial, especially if someone goes down for Denver.
Le’Veon Moss: Las Vegas Raiders
The Raiders were dead last in rushing yards per game last season despite taking Ashton Jeanty with the No. 6 overall pick. Bringing Le’Veon Moss to the Las Vegas running back room would not only help Moss avoid nagging injuries and serve as an aggressive change of pace from Jeanty, but also potentially boost the Raiders’ deplorable running game. And new head coach Klint Kubiak needs to turn Sin City’s offense around ASAP if he ever wants to compete in the cutthroat AFC West.
Scooby Williams: Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys badly need depth at linebacker, and Scooby Williams fits the mold exactly of what first-year defensive coordinator Christian Parker is looking for. With size and athleticism extremely attractive for the position, Dallas could certainly take a swing on Williams on Day 3. He’ll be a significant addition to special teams, and with polished tackling, he might just solve the mystery of the Cowboys’ disastrous defense.
