This seventh-round pick has sky-high potential with the Bills

Ar’maj Reed gives Bills immense upside at guard in long-term future

Buffalo Bills rookie guard Ar’maj Reed-Adams is poised to make a significant impact on the team's future. Despite being selected in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, he earned a spot on the 53-man roster after the preseason. The scouts were impressed with his rare combination of height, length, and build, which gave him a wingspan and frame that could add more mass.

Reed-Adams demonstrated excellent hip roll, length, and balance recovery, allowing him to keep defenders off his frame and execute down blocks, combo climbs, and reach assignments. His pass protection skills, including his ability to stay attached to interior defenders and recognize blitzes, were also noteworthy. As he entered the league with over 2,300 snaps across six seasons at Kansas and A&M, Reed-Adams showed his ability to perform at a high level.

With the Bills focusing on size and length in their offensive line, Reed-Adams has the potential to develop into a top-tier blocker. His impressive summer performance and the team's coaching staff's belief in his capabilities make him a formidable candidate to start at left guard within the next season.
