Emmanuel Pregnon's Oregon bio

Quick breakdown

This past season, Pregnon was one of Pro Football Focus' highest-graded run-blockers at the guard position, and he was excellent in pass protection as well, allowing just one sack and five pressures over 471 pass-blocking snaps. The bulk of his playing time has come at left guard, but he has lined up at right guard as well.

Scouting report on Emmanuel Pregnon

"Ultra-durable and experienced, Pregnon has the prototypical frame of a downhill blocker. He’ll get beat to first contact but usually reclaims the rep using well-placed hands, a broad base and upper-body power to displace and finish with authority. Range and foot quickness are average as a move blocker and lead to block leakage against slants. In pass pro, he leverages his length well and is quick to detect twists/blitz development. Long pass slides and forward lunges invite counters from skilled, sub-package rushers but protection isn’t a major concern. He’ll be an older rookie who projects as a good plug-and-play starter and immediate run-blocking upgrade." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com

They said it

Liam Coen: "A first-team all-American. Type of player that adds mass inside. That's something that we've been continuously evaluating is getting bigger, faster, stronger, and tougher. And that's something that he does for us. I'm very good friends with Will Stein, who was his offensive coordinator. We talked a lot throughout the last week. Very close with Dan Lanning as well. And so, you look at his physical attributes, the stuff we can't coach. And then a guy that wasn't a mental error guy, wasn't somebody that couldn't handle all of what Oregon was able to do in their system and checking and killing plays, audibles, alerts, all those kind of things that you're hunting up."
