Georgia OT Monroe Freeling: 2026 NFL Draft profile, latest mock predictions originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.

Monroe Freeling is consider one of the best left tackles in the 2026 NFL Draft. The Georgia Bulldogs anchor worked his way into being one of the best in the SEC last season. As a two-year starter, Freeling might be viewed as a project and potential 10-year vet in the right position.

The Second-team All-SEC talent played in all 14 games with 13 starts at left tackle for Georgia. Freeling is also one of the best player who won't be in the Green Room on Thursday night.

Here’s a look at the latest NFL Draft projections and profile for Freeling.

"Freeling offers coveted length and athleticism at right tackle. With only one season as a full-time starter, filling out his frame and improving his technique should be early priorities. His quickness brings first-phase positioning advantages, but he needs more play strength to carry that over to block sustain and finish.

"Lunging and deadening feet post-punch must be coached out of his muscle memory in pass protection so his athleticism and length can do their jobs. Independent hand usage and a reliable “snatch and trap” could instantly bolster his success rate. There is some buyer beware on tape, but if smoothed out, he has the ceiling of a quality NFL starter."
