"A 45-consecutive-start UMass-to-Auburn graduate transfer who held down SEC right tackle at 296 pounds, whose technique was pro-ready and whose frame decided he would live inside."Pre-draft read
Driscoll is a 6-5, 296-pound offensive lineman who played right tackle in the SEC at a weight most teams consider guard-sized, and he survived there on footwork and intelligence. He sets quickly, mirrors with clean feet, and understands angles well enough to turn speed rushers past the pocket rather than trying to stop them with mass.
In the run game he is a positional blocker rather than a mauler, best when he can zone-step and wall off rather than drive a defensive end off the ball. His hands land inside and he rarely lunges, which is how he started 45 straight games. The limit is plain: he is light and short-armed, and NFL power will walk him back on an island. The signature is technique.
A zone-based offense that asks its linemen to reach and wall off rather than drive, with a swing role that requires guard and tackle reps in the same week.
Year 1 swing interior and tackle backup who dresses every week, with a ceiling as a competent spot starter at three positions on a contending line.
A gap-power scheme that wants a 320-pound tackle to displace edge defenders in the run game.

Post-draft interview covering the graduate transfer path and his SEC tackle experience.
Driscoll took the long route. He redshirted at UMass in 2015, then played nine games with eight starts at left guard and tackle as a redshirt freshman in 2016, earning honorable mention freshman All-America, and started twelve games at right tackle in 2017 for Phil Steele first-team all-independent honors on a line that set the program record with 670 yards of total offense against Georgia Southern.
Then he graduated in three years and transferred to Auburn to play in the SEC. He won the starting right tackle job immediately as a graduate transfer in 2018 and started every game, then started all thirteen again as a senior in 2019. He finished with 47 career games and 46 starts across five years and two programs, and his final college game was his 45th consecutive start, tenth-most among active FBS offensive linemen. He was PFF preseason second-team All-SEC, an East-West Shrine Game invitee, a Campbell Trophy nominee, a two-time SEC academic honor roll selection and the Cliff Hare Award winner, and he added a master's from Auburn's business school in December of 2019.
The question was never whether he could play, it was where. At 296 pounds with short arms, most teams projected him inside. Philadelphia took him at 145 as a swing lineman.
- 01
Consecutive-start durability
Finished college with 45 straight starts, tenth-most among active FBS offensive linemen, across two programs and two positions.
- 02
Positional versatility
Started at left guard, left tackle and right tackle in college, which is the single most valuable trait for a Day 3 offensive lineman.
- 03
Pass-set footwork
Sets quickly with clean feet and mirrors edge speed by managing angles rather than relying on raw strength.
- 04
Hand placement
Consistently lands inside and rarely lunges, which kept him from the technique breakdowns that sink light tackles.
- 05
Proven SEC transition
Won the right tackle job at Auburn as a graduate transfer from UMass and never gave it back over two seasons.
- 01
Play strength
At 296 pounds he gets walked back by power rushers and cannot reset the line of scrimmage in short yardage.
- 02
Arm length
Short arms for a tackle let defenders into his frame first, which is the main reason teams projected him to guard.
- 03
Run-game displacement
A positional blocker who walls defenders off rather than driving them, limiting his value in a downhill scheme.
- 04
Anchor against bull rush
Loses ground when a heavy rusher attacks his chest, a problem that gets worse against NFL interior power.

Career totals of 47 games and 46 starts across five years (Massachusetts 2015-17, Auburn 2018-19) come from his Steelers team biography, which also confirms 20 starts in his final two UMass seasons and a 45-game consecutive-start streak. The Auburn bio confirms nine games with eight starts in 2016, twelve starts at right tackle in 2017, and starting every game in 2018 and 2019. He redshirted in 2015, so that year is omitted rather than entered as zeros. Per-season game totals beyond 2016 were not published and are left empty.
A dash means the figure is not published by a source we trust — never a zero we invented.
A versatile reserve who dresses every week and spot-starts at guard and tackle without owning a job.
The ceiling: a swing lineman who starts enough playoff games to earn a real second contract elsewhere.
A depth interior lineman who bounces between rosters and practice squads late in his career.
Everything above is the pre-draft evaluation. This section is what actually happened — updated year over year.
Philadelphia used him as the swing lineman they drafted him to be. He played eleven games with four starts as a rookie in 2020, then started all nine games he appeared in during 2021, filling in at right tackle and right guard on a playoff offense. Over the next three years he was a valued reserve: seventeen games with three starts in 2022 on the Super Bowl LVII team, seventeen with one start in 2023, and thirteen with one start in 2024, including all 68 snaps at right guard in the regular-season finale before an ankle injury put him on injured reserve and cost him the Super Bowl LIX run.
Miami signed him in free agency in 2024 and released him at the end of that preseason; Philadelphia brought him back. He joined the Steelers practice squad in October of 2025 and signed to the active roster on December 31 without playing a regular-season snap that year. Across six seasons he has 67 games and eighteen starts split between right guard, right tackle and left tackle. The profile said backup swing lineman who can start in a pinch at three spots, and that is the career, which for the 145th pick is a perfectly good return.
