The Baltimore Ravens have selected former Washington offensive tackle Roger Rosengarten in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft with the No. 62 overall pick.
Rosengarten played four years at Washington, starting all 27 games over the past two seasons at right tackle. He earned an All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention in 2023, one of the stalwarts of a Husky offensive line which helped lead the team to the College Football Playoff National Championship Game.
“Dream come true,” Rosengarten recently said, via The Denver Post. “I’ve wanted to play in the NFL since I was a little kid and to be in this spot and the position I’m in right now with the draft coming up, it’s going to be crazy. It’s going to be crazy.
“I haven’t thought about how I’m going to react. … When the time comes, it’s going to be exciting.”
Rosengarten played high school football for Valor Christian in Littleton, Colorado, where he was a four-star prospect. He ranked as the No. 157 overall prospect and No. 18 offensive tackle in the 2020 class, according to the On3 Industry Rating, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
What NFL Draft analysts are saying about Roger Rosengarten
Lance Zierlein of NFL Network had Rosengarten as his No. 16 offensive tackle prospect in the 2024 NFL Draft with a 6.15 Prospect Grade.
“Two-year starter with long legs, a physical demeanor and a limited athletic profile,” Zierlein wrote. “Rosengarten is smart and uses all the tricks in his bag to make up for his lack of fluidity. His ability to help protect his quarterback in five-man protections helped to bring the Huskies the Joe Moore Award (given to the top offensive line in college football), but he might be too slow-footed to stay in front of NFL rushers.
“He’s below average as a bender and still needs to work on his hand placement, but a move inside to guard could give him a better shot at making a roster as a mauler on a physical front.”
