The New Orleans Saints have been closely evaluating the 2026 NFL Draft class of guards, and Texas A&M's Chase Bisontis has emerged as a potential target for the team's 42nd overall pick. Bisontis, a native of Ramsey, New Jersey, has impressed with his physical play, strong fundamentals, and ability to excel in both zone and power run schemes during his college career with the Aggies.

Why it matters

The Saints recently signed former Buffalo Bills guard David Edwards to a lucrative contract, but the team appears intent on further bolstering the interior of their offensive line. Bisontis' combination of size, strength, and technique could make him an ideal fit to provide depth and competition behind Edwards and center Cesar Ruiz.

The details

Bisontis, a 21-year-old prospect, stands at 6'5" and 315 pounds with 31 3/4-inch arms and 9 3/4-inch hands. At the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, he posted an impressive overall score of 77, ranking fourth among participating guards. His production score of 70 ranked 11th, while his estimated athleticism score of 81 placed sixth at the position. Bisontis is known for his physical play, sturdy lower-body power, and controlled footwork, making him effective in both zone and downhill run schemes. While his pass protection can be somewhat tentative at times, it is still considered serviceable and could improve with NFL-level coaching.

  • Bisontis spent all three seasons of his college career with the Texas A&M Aggies.
  • In 2025, Bisontis earned Third-Team All-SEC honors.
  • In 2023, Bisontis was named First-Team All-SEC as a freshman.
