Brandon Coleman has been one of the best offensive linemen in the Big 12 for the last two seasons.

In 2021, Coleman started eight of TCU’s last nine games. He played seven games at left guard and one at right guard. In 2020, he played in four games at right tackle before suffering a season-ending injury. Before joining TCU, Coleman spent two seasons at Trinity Valley Community College.

He is joining a Washington Commanders organization that has undergone plenty of changes this offseason.

What NFL Draft analysts are saying about Brandon Coleman

Lance Zierlein of NFL.com shared his analysis of Coleman for his draft profile. He projected Coleman to be taken in the third round and loved how he played both tackle and guard at TCU.

“Three-year starter and team captain in 2023 with outstanding length and the potential to offer roster flexibility,” Zierlein wrote. “Coleman will be scouted and drafted as a guard but might be able to handle a move to tackle in an emergency. He’s broad and fits up blocks with pretty good accuracy when his hands are right, but he’s never going to be a lane clearer in the run game.

“Coleman’s experience at tackle helps his chances of protecting NFL quarterbacks as a guard. He pass protects with efficient hands and sound technique, but his reactive athleticism is very average, which could be trouble against sub-package rushers.”
