Film Notes and Highlights
Going from the FCS level to the NFL level as a starter is tough, but Kiran Amegadjie has the tools to be a worthwhile top-50 investment as a starting-caliber tackle or guard. Amegadjie was a three-year starter at Yale, lining up at left tackle the past two seasons in their multi-run scheme. After not playing football until late in his high school career, he put himself on the NFL’s radar with his rising play in the Ivy League; although his injury meant he missed half of his final season in 2023 and scouts were unable to see him face better competition in the 2024 Senior Bowl. Amegadjie is a raw prospect who needs technical and strength work. He projects as a backup left tackle as a rookie who has all the tools to gradually become an NFL starter. – Cesar Fuentes
