The offensive line is headlined by Kolton Miller at left tackle, along with free agent signing Tyler Linderbaum at center.

Linderbaum has remained among the top centers in the NFL, especially in the run game, and Klint Kubiak’s offensive system is a phenomenal fit to get Linderbaum in space. Additionally, Las Vegas has 2025 3rd rounder Caleb Rogers who allowed three sacks, 11 pressures, and a penalty in 284 snaps last season. Rogers struggled in the final two games after starting the season well, and the 24 year old has immense athletic upside, though he’ll need to adapt to guard after being a true tackle/center for Texas Tech in his final season.

Rogers will be competing with former 49ers starting guard Spencer Burford for the teams right guard spot Burford, a fourth rounder from UTSA in 2022, has logged a career 2423 snaps and in 2025 allowed 2 sacks, 31 pressures, and just one penalty at left guard. He’s been best in his career at right guard, and he’s maintained a majority of his impact as a run blocker. Burford, turns 26 in July, and his experience, athleticism, and experience in a similar system to Kubiak’s could give him the inside leg but it won’t be a long leash.

Opposite of those two, is 2024 2nd rounder Jackson Powers-Johnson who’s struggled win injures in his career, but has also shown flashes of dominance. The 23 year old allowed 2 sacks and 10 pressures in 2025 working at right guard, but the team is shifting him back to left guard where he played roughly 60% of his time in 2024 allowing a sack and 11 pressures across 506 snaps (another sack and 13 pressures at C and RG in 450 snaps). Powers-Johnson needs to stay healthy, but he’s shown immense upside as a run blocker, works well in a zone system, and if he can stay healthy (12 missed games last two seasons) he will be an anchor of their run game next to Miller & Linderbaum.
