Dametrious Crownover

The Player

Crownover, a two-year starter at right tackle, has long arms, good feet for his size, and explosive power, but he hasn’t reached his potential. He can get movement one-on-one and drive defensive linemen into linebackers as a combination blocker. He gets to the second level quickly and engulfs linebackers, but he tends to get overaggressive, and he glances off blocks in space. He can wall off defenders and flashes the ability to adjust to late movement as a zone blocker. He needs to tighten his footwork and improve his angles as a front-side run blocker. Edge defenders have too much success slipping him and beating him to the inside. He’s a taller offensive tackle with a higher center of gravity, and his hand placement is erratic, so he can get stood up and fall off blocks.

Crownover is quick, his arm length is outstanding, and he moves his feet well, so he has some upside, and he’s a competitive pass blocker when his technique is sound. 

Because of inconsistencies in the timing of his punch and hand placement, defenders can get into his frame despite his arm length. He’s big and strong enough to anchor, but he sets high, and he can give up too much ground. He can mirror, and he flashes the ability to recover when he gets his hands on defenders.  

The Draft 

Crownover grades out as a mid-round pick. 

The Projection 

Jalen Travis, a 2025 fourth-round pick, is a taller offensive tackle who has excellent length and great size and tested well at the combine. He’s a good comparison. Like Crownover, Travis was a better run blocker than pass blocker coming out of college. Travis started four games at the end of the 2025 season and is expected to start at right tackle for the Colts in 2026.
