The NFL is always on the lookout for offensive linemen with the potential to be starting offensive tackles in the pros. The skill set needed to be a starting OT in the NFL is hard to come by, and teams are willing to take any chance to get a good starter.
Washington State right tackle Abraham Lucas has been steadily rising up draft boards following a solid red-shirt senior season for the Cougars. Last year he allowed just 9 pressures with one QB hit and no sacks. He had a good showing at the 2022 Reese’s Senior Bowl, where his athleticism and comfort as a pass protector stood out.
