The New England Patriots may have found a foundational piece along their offensive line in the 2025 NFL draft. The Patriots drafted Georgia Bulldogs center Jared Wilson with the No. 95 pick (third-round) in the draft.
Wilson appears to have a different role in the New England. He is already getting first-team reps with the Patriots' offensive line, which struggled a season ago. Wilson's athleticism and pass protection ability should help the Patriots do a better job of protecting second-year quarterback Drake Maye.
Wilson is competing with former first-round pick Cole Strange for a starting guard spot.
