Emmanuel Pregnon NFL Draft Profile & Comparison
My NFL comparison for Emmanuel Pregnon is Carolina Panthers offensive lineman Robert Hunt, who also attended a G6 school – Louisiana. Both are big guards who can be dominant at the line of scrimmage.
For his size, Pregnon moves his feet well. He’s quick enough to pull and climb to the second level in order to influence plays that way. But, of course, he’s also physical, keeps his feet moving at the point of attack, and will move a pile.
Pregnon allowed just one sack while at Oregon in 2025 and none while at USC the two years prior. He gave up five total quarterback pressures after allowing 18 in 2024 and 14 in 2023. He committed just two penalties his final year of college.
Pregnon is a pretty straightforward prospect. He won’t need to be shuffled around the offensive line for the Jags. He can play either guard spot, as he did in college, and is a proficient run and pass blocker.
