Late-Blooming 6-7 Beast with Elite Pass-Pro Upside for 2025 NFL Draft
Washington State LT Esa Pole, a 6-7, 320-pound Tongan powerhouse who didn't play football until junior college in 2021, started all 13 games in 2024 on the Polynesian Player of the Year Watch List, anchoring a run-heavy scheme with 22 straight starts and zero sacks allowed in his final 498 pass-blocking snaps. His massive frame, leg drive, and natural mirroring make him a raw but intriguing day-three prospect—ideal for teams needing versatile OL depth at tackle or guard, especially after his heads-turning Chiefs debut with just 3 hurries on 42 snaps.
