A USC right tackle whom the Jets traded up to draft has since remade himself into a well-traveled swing lineman across the offensive front.
Chuma Edoga entered the league as a third-round tackle prospect out of USC, and while injuries and inconsistency have limited his ceiling, he has stayed on NFL rosters for eight seasons as a depth piece capable of playing multiple spots along the offensive line.
Path to the league
Edoga played in 44 games with 25 starts across four seasons at USC, starting 22 games at right tackle over his final two years, including protecting quarterback Sam Darnold. The Jets traded up to select him in the third round (92nd overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft.
Career highlights
Edoga began his career starting for the Jets before moving on to other organizations, settling into a role as a versatile reserve tackle and guard. He has continued to find NFL work as a depth option capable of filling in at multiple line spots.
2025 season recap
Edoga played a limited 98 offensive snaps in 2025 and struggled with penalties, getting flagged five times in that span. He posted a 33.6 overall PFF grade for the season and became largely an afterthought on offense as the year went on.
