NFL insider envisions overlooked Patriots draft pick as next biggest surprise
"Though he doesn't have nearly the same ceiling as Lomu, Crownover is a former tight end with outstanding length (86-inch wingspan) and a skill set that suggests his best football is still ahead of him."
"Brugler named Crownover as a potential surprise player with a lot of potential for the Patriots. He might be a sixth-rounder, and their futures are generally not too bright, but Brugler, along with other analysts, feels Crownover has a good chance to prove that sentiment wrong."
Dametrious Crownover, a sixth-round pick by the Patriots, is gaining attention for his potential contributions to the offensive line. Formerly a tight end, he played right tackle at Texas A&M. Despite the Patriots selecting Caleb Lomu as their projected starting right tackle, analysts believe Crownover could surprise with his skills. Dane Brugler highlights Crownover's outstanding length and suggests his best football is still ahead. The Patriots prioritized offensive line protection, making Crownover a valuable addition with potential for growth.
