Overview

Washington’s Roger Resengarten was a standout performer at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine thanks to his forty-time. While he may be overshadowed by his teammate, Troy Fautanu, Rosengarten is still a viable option for those needing help on the right side.

While his length isn’t elite for an offensive tackle, Rosengarten still does a good job resetting his hands to establish a firm grip. From this, he’s consistently able to get inside position with his hands and lockout. In both phases of the game, Rosengarten plays a clean game for someone with a finisher’s mentality. His athleticism makes it easy for him when mirroring pass rushers and serves him well when tasked with pulling. 

However, because of his lack of elite length, Rosengarten needs to improve his punch timing and accuracy as he has trouble establishing his grip the first time. More so, he also has trouble reaching his landmarks. When facing rushers with a good first step, Rosengarten’s footwork becomes more of a heel click rather than something that’s smooth. Finally, Rosengarten sometimes leaves too early to help his teammates. It isn’t that he’s helping them out that’s the issue, it’s more so the timing of which he does it.

At the end of the day, Rosengarten likely made himself a bit of money with his performance in Indianapolis. While he isn’t a premier RT prospect like Latham and Fuaga, Roger Rosengarten should be someone to keep an eye on as the draft approaches. 

My Two Cents

Overall, I think that Roger Rosengarten is a better player than where he’ll probably get drafted. He isn’t someone who will come in and transform a team’s offensive line, but he is someone who could be a great support piece for a unit that is looking to fill its final holes.
