Chiefs summer scouting: Clemson Tigers offensive line
Tristan Leigh, Blake Miller and Collin Sadler form the most formidable trio on Clemson’s offensive line. Walker Parks, who enters 2025 with more than 2,800 career offensive snaps, might also get some looks as a late Day 3 draft pick, but most analysts view him as a future undrafted free agent. The Kansas City Chiefs should still consider pursuing more depth through the 2026 NFL draft. The Chiefs added Jaylon Moore and Josh Simmons to a weak offensive tackle room in the offseason, but they should still look to bolster their offensive line through the draft.
Clemson Tigers left tackle Tristan Leigh, right tackle Blake Miller and guard Collin Sadler form the most formidable trio on the program’s offensive line. Walker Parks, who enters 2025 with more than 2,800 career offensive snaps, might also get some looks as a late Day 3 draft pick, but most analysts view him as a future undrafted free agent.
Miller began starting for the Tigers as a freshman in 2022. With three seasons and nearly 2,900 snaps under his belt, he’s one of the most experienced offensive tackles in the 2026 class. Miller is undersized, lacking traditional mass for a right tackle, but his footspeed, patience and range mitigate some of those concerns.
Miller needs to play with better posture to avoid overextending and losing his balance. He reportedly added weight this offseason, which could quiet some concerns about the power of his anchor. Miller currently projects as a top 100 selection.
Leigh offers more traditional size than Miller. This additional power manifests in a stouter anchor and arresting grip strength to lock down outside linebackers. Leigh moves well in space, cutting off wide-alignment rushers at the top of the arc in the passing game or pulling for gap runs.
Unfortunately, Leigh’s chest often extends over his knees, causing balance concerns as he attempts to mirror pass rushers. This issue also impacts Leigh’s run blocking. He finds himself on the ground too often and puts some ugly losses on tape. This may be a permanent issue for Leigh since he didn’t correct it in either of his two seasons as a starter. He projects as a fifth round pick.
Sadler suffered a season-ending calf injury early in 2024 that limited him to fewer than 100 offensive snaps at left guard. The subsequent surgery sidetracked his development, but Sadler’s potential remains one of the most attractive draws along Clemson’s offensive line.
Sadler needs to add some mass to his lower body to improve his anchor in pass protection and the strength of his leg drive in the run game. He also must correct his strike timing and hand placement to protect his chest. These two developments aren’t difficult with proper coaching and a good strength and conditioning program.
Sadler’s block framing, burst off the line of scrimmage, nimble footwork, speed and impressive 6’6″, 310 lb. build make him an intriguing development project.
