Someone who can singlehandedly clear a path for the running back

It’s not a secret that the running game in Kansas City has been a bit of an afterthought since Patrick Mahomes took over at quarterback. It became even more of an afterthought once Kareem Hunt was released halfway through the 2018 season. It seems that with the addition of LSU RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire in the 2020 NFL Draft, a resurgence of the running game could be coming in Kansas City.

Osemele is an interior offensive lineman that you can scheme a running game around. He’s really good at latching onto defenders and creating movement without getting holding penalties. He can clear lanes and climb to the second level with ease, bullying linebackers and creating free yards for a running back. At 6-5 and 330 pounds, Osemele’s power is put on display often in the run game. He constantly bullies smaller and less powerful defenders.
