Kelechi Osemele film thread incoming here 👇
Osemele isn't the fluid mover into space that has become Andy Reid's hallmark, but he can CLIMB.

He exhibits a good initial burst when firing up to the second level, and he takes terrific angles to close down the block. Uses his strength well to finish the play.
For Osemele, the job's not through until it's through -- regardless of the opponent.

Here he is matched up against Aaron Donald on a delayed shotgun draw. Gives the RB the time to sell and take the handoff, then chases down Donald to finish as the OL push the RB in for a TD.
The name of Osemele's game is power, and he tosses around players on the regular.

Combo block with the C. As Osemele is disengaging, he extends the inside arm and completely turns the DT, helping put him in the dirt. Eyes up, climbs to the second level, taking out the pursuit LB
Osemele's pass pro isn't passive, and there are a multitude of reps where he drives the DT back to the original line of scrimmage, re-expanding the pocket.

Stepping up into the pocket for the quarterback is significantly easier and makes life for OT's vs speed rushers better.
Osemele's grip strength is a massive plus as well. Once he gets the clamps on a defender, he usually stays locked.

LB twist behind his DT, and Osemele gets wrenched by the blocker/DT. Good job resetting his base, but staying clamped and not losing ground.
Osemele's 2019 was marred with injuries and a poor surrounding cast, but he still showed quality reps.

Good combo of strength and grip in pass pro here. Defender with the good swat to clear Osemele's outside hand, but keeps inside in the chest and keeps pocket integrity.
Osemele's a smart player that processes quickly, which helps him to diagnose and pick up games from the DL.

Frames the DT well, then peeks outside as he feels the disengagement. DE cuts underneath the DT and Osemele picks him up with ease, keeping a solid pocket.
Finally, Osemele is always looking for work and has fantastic situational awareness.

One of his best plays in 2019 came in the first preseason game. He engages the DT, but knows he has the double team coming from the OC. Osemele peels off to help the LT and decleats the rusher.
