Texas A&M’s steady, high-motor run-plugger with NFL juice
In the 2025 season, Tyler Onyedim was a productive interior defender for Texas A&M, posting 48 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, 17 pressures, and a 71.9 PFF grade, which helped push him into the 2026 NFL Draft as a third-round pick. [2][6][12] The selling points are clear: he plays with power, finishes with urgency, and brings reliable disruption against both the run and pass, while analysts consistently viewed him as a Day 2 type. [2][14] If a team wants a dependable DT who can anchor, chase, and create steady backfield noise without needing the spotlight, Onyedim fits the bill nicely. [11][15]
