Membou played 2,099 offensive snaps over three seasons, surrendering 26 total pressures and three sacks. He allowed just eight pressures in 2024.

Membou committed 11 penalties over his college career. Bruce Feldman ranked Membou at 39 on his Freak List prior to the 2024 season, noting that Membou had only an 18% body fat rate.

Membou was one of the storylines of the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine, and not just for his impressive 4.91 forty-yard dash at 332 pounds, but also his screams through the dash that assisted in his sensational time.

Weaknesses

Slightly shorter than average offensive tackle
Creative hand usage but hands can be too patience at times which can lead to vulnerability handling power
Play strength is solid but excellent power EDGE rushers may get the best of his anchor at times
Can commit his hips a bit too early on an island against wide rushes
Can lean too much when blocking on the move – can lead to lunge
Took all but one snap at right tackle in college (did play left guard in high school)

Summary

Armand Membou is an explosive offensive tackle who is light on his feet and fluid enough to exercise precision with his framing and placement, which, combined with his center of gravity and control, allow him to recover if out of position.

Membou blends excellent finesse with solid power with good – varied – footwork and an excellent ability to defend counter moves. Although his hands can get wide and stay low for slightly too long, his ability to gain the chest and control is an asset.

He is a good run blocker who optimally positions himself and maintains a low profile at the point of attack. Membou understands how to maintain a half-man relationship in pass protection, while knowing how to combo & climb and finish blocks with solid authority.

Membou has all the physical tools to thrive in the NFL. With some development, Membou could quickly rise to be one of the better – more gifted – tackles in the NFL.
