Tristan Leigh
Clemson
Scouting Report

Former five-star recruit with a prototypical NFL tackle frame at 6-6, 310 who never quite cashed in on the pedigree at Clemson. Leigh plays with a nasty edge and flashes real play strength — his punch disrupts rush plans and he showed the ability to match Jared Verse up the arc — but the footwork remains jerky and inconsistent, particularly his inside foot on vertical pass sets. He profiles best as a developmental swing tackle in a zone-based system that can exploit his athleticism on pulls and second-level blocks, with the understanding that his pass protection technique is a full year of NFL coaching away from being starter-caliber. The ceiling is a competent NFL starter if the feet catch up to the frame; the floor is a career backup who never refines the technique.

Pro ComparisonMekhi Becton (developmental version)

Similar physical profile — massive frame, impressive athleticism, nasty disposition — but technique and consistency concerns that kept his ceiling theoretical longer than expected. Leigh's upside is tied to a team investing in his technical development the way the Jets hoped to with Becton.
