STM Take
Back-to-back top-25 STTM finishes (#24, #14) at ages 28-29 as a 2021 UDFA puts Neuzil in the small group of late-bloomer interior linemen to crack tier 3 or better. The Appalachian State 46-start positional flexibility plus four years of patient development appears to be the path. The 2026 question is whether Neuzil holds tier 3 or better across a full third starter season or whether 2025 was the late-career peak.
Neuzil came out of Appalachian State as a 2021 undrafted free agent signed by the Atlanta Falcons after starting 46 games for the Mountaineers across all five interior offensive line positions. He spent three years as depth, then emerged into a starter role in 2024 when injuries opened the spot. His STTM career runs tier 3 (#24) in 2024 and tier 2 (#14) in 2025, a clean two-year emergence arc for a UDFA in his late-twenties.
Strengths
- Back-to-back top-25 STTM finishes (#24, #14) as a 2021 UDFA puts him well above his draft-slot expectation at the position.
- Appalachian State 46-start positional flexibility across all five interior positions gives him roster versatility that few late-bloomers carry.
Concerns
- Limited two-year STTM history caps the long-term projection certainty, even with the trajectory tier 3 (#24) to tier 2 (#14).
- Atlanta's broader offensive line investment pattern signals the front office may still draft an upgrade ahead of the Neuzil chapter peak.
What to watch: Whether Neuzil holds tier 3 or better in 2026 plus signs a market-rate extension, the threshold that confirms Atlanta's long-term commitment.
