2026 NFL Combine Results

Pros of Chase Bisontis

• Exceptionally light feet and rapid foot fire allow him to shoot out the blocks or quickly get set before sliding and mirroring rushers
• Plays with good center of gravity and balance in space
• Stout pass protection resume in 2025 — consistently ties his hands and feet for good posture at first contact
• Admirable recovery ability thanks to good functional athleticism
• Does well to churn double teams and has separation quickness to pin or seal gap-shooters

Cons of Chase Bisontis

• Most struggles seem to be rooted in issues centered around functional reach and length
• Can give up his chest at times to long-armed defenders
• If he loses first contact, he can get stymied and struggles to find the gas pedal — will get stuck in neutral and bottled up
• Miami game was a spotlight of issues with giving up his edges too easily, must protect against explosion/power combinations better

Background

Bisontis is from Don Bosco Prep HS in New Jersey. He was a prized 4-star recruit (247Sports) who chose Texas A&M over a slew of powerhouse programs across the country, including Alabama, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Texas, LSU, Penn State, Clemson, and others. During his true freshman season with the Aggies, Bisontis served as the team’s starting right tackle for 12 games.

He briefly entered the transfer portal after his first season in College Station, but withdrew his name and transitioned to guard. Bisontis would go on to serve the next two seasons as the starting left guard. He was named Third-Team All-SEC in 2025 and declared for the 2026 NFL Draft with one remaining year of eligibility. He will be 21 years old on draft night before turning 22 in June.

Player Evaluation

Bisontis projects as a starting guard at the NFL level. He’s got the functional athleticism of an impact starter with further refinement and discipline to play within his frame at the next level. He was a delight to watch throughout the season — an impactful pass protector with good feet and spatial awareness.

The Aggies had involved in a number of run block concepts, from combinations to skip pulls to zone concepts. He has appeal in all of these usages and appears to be a scheme diverse talent. Given his pass protection appeal in true pass sets, he’ll have allure to teams that trend towards more true drop-back passing concepts and lower play pass usage.

Most of Bisontis’ biggest challenges are about length mitigation. He can give up his chest at times against length and otherwise defenders who can beat his first punch can run through his edges. Thankfully he has a compact, poppy, and well placed punch — but savvy veteran rushers and freaky athletes with reach will be the matchups to watch as he gets early playing time as a pro.
