PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT

Fuaga is a powerful and physical offensive tackle with a dominating presence in the run game. He exhibits a mean streak and an ability to punish defenders, making him a cornerstone for a run-first offense. His ability to move quickly out of his stance and reach second-level defenders highlights his fit in schemes that prioritize zone concepts and play-action passes. Although his pass protection shows room for improvement, especially in terms of footwork and over-aggressiveness, his overall skill set makes him versatile enough to play both guard and tackle positions at the next level. Fuaga is best suited for teams looking to bolster their offensive line with a strong run blocker who can also hold his own in pass protection.

CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS

Near Elite (70-74)
A near-elite prospect is a player who is projected to become a significant contributor by their second year in the NFL. They have elite physical tools and athleticism and perform at a high level with ease and consistency. They have some weaknesses, but they are not significant. These players are typically high first-round picks, and they have the potential to be stars in the league.
