STM Take
Tier 2 (#15) breakout in 2024 to tier 5 (#39) in 2025 is a 24-spot regression in one year that flags the 2024 finish as either situational or a year-one ceiling spike. The Virginia Tech UDFA origin plus the Cowboys position-specific coaching gives him basic developmental foundation. The 2026 question is whether Hoffman returns to tier 3 territory or whether the tier 5 finish is the new baseline.
Hoffman came out of Virginia Tech as a 2022 undrafted free agent signed by the Dallas Cowboys after starting at multiple interior positions for the Hokies. He spent two years as depth, then emerged into a starter role in 2024 when Cowboys injuries opened the spot. His STTM career runs tier 2 (#15) breakout in 2024 to tier 5 (#39) in 2025, a notable second-starter-year regression.
Strengths
- Tier 2 (#15) breakout in his first sustained starter season as a 2022 UDFA puts him well above his draft-slot expectation.
- Virginia Tech positional flexibility across all three interior spots gives him roster value as starter-or-depth across the Dallas offensive line.
Concerns
- 24-spot drop from tier 2 (#15) to tier 5 (#39) in year two flags either injury, scheme shift, or one-year context spike that needs explanation.
- Dallas's broader offensive line investment pattern (multiple high picks at IOL 2024-2025) signals the front office may still draft an upgrade at the spot.
What to watch: Whether Hoffman returns to tier 3-4 territory in 2026, the threshold for confirming the 2024 tier 2 finish was structural.
