Patrick Mekari’s calling card is versatility and toughness, but his 2025 NFL tape shows a mixed guard grade
Mekari is a valuable fit if you need a dependable, position-flexible offensive lineman who can move between spots and handle heavy snaps, as he was a multi-position starter at Cal and later won a multi-year NFL contract. His recent NFL performance has been uneven, with a 52.1 overall PFF grade in the 2025 season, but his real differentiator is adaptability: he has started at both tackle and guard and brings veteran steadiness, physicality, and scheme flexibility that doesn’t always show up in box scores.
