The Chicago Bears will host Yale offensive tackle prospect Kiran Amegadjie on a Top 30 visit. Amegadjie confirmed the news to The Draft Network in a recent interview. Amegadjie said he also plans to visit the Cleveland Browns and Washington Commanders.

Amegadjie is a local prospect that hails from Hinsdale, Illinois. He's also a massive blocker that clocked in at 6-foot-5 and 323 pounds at the NFL Combine. Amegadjie had received an invite to this year's Senior Bowl, but unfortunately missed out with injury.

Bears offensive line coach Chris Morgan would likely appreciate an opportunity to coach Amegadjie's moldable traits. Amegadjie possesses 36 inch arms and an 85.5-inch wingspan. That natural length offers Amegadjie an advantage. Amegadjie utilizes length to prevent opposing defensive ends from getting their hands on him in pass protection.

Amegadjie projects as a top-100 selection in the 2024 NFL Draft. Bears general manager Ryan Poles currently owns the 75th pick in the third round. If Amegadjie slides a bit further, Chicago is slated to pick again at 122 overall. Amegadjie is right within Chicago’s wheelhouse, which is likely why the Bears are inviting him for a pre-draft visit.

Amegadjie is the ideal developmental tackle with rare traits and measurements. If Poles doesn't address left tackle with the No. 9 overall selection, Amegadjie could be viewed as an eventual replacement for Braxton Jones at left tackle.
