Niki Prongos rises in NFL draft rankings after strong season with Stanford

Summary

Niki Prongos, a 6-foot-7 offensive tackle from Stanford, has been ranked 92nd on Pro Football Network's top-100 NFL prospects list. Prongos started all 12 games last season, excelling in pass blocking with a grade of 75.4, ranking fourth among starting left tackles in the ACC. Despite a lower run blocking score of 55.5, he is viewed as a developing talent with significant potential. New offensive line coach Keli’i Kekuewa, who has NFL experience, is expected to help improve the Cardinal's offensive line, which has struggled in recent years. Prongos has another full season to work on his game before the NFL draft.
