Mike Vrabel hints at position change for Patriots' first-round pick
New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel spoke to the media at the NFL Annual Meeting and indicated that offensive guard Cole Strange will continue to take reps at center.
Strange is expected to compete with newly-signed center Garrett Bradbury, despite originally being drafted at guard and playing at that position for most of his career.
The Patriots tested Strange at center late last season with the team dealing with multiple injuries at the position. Vrabel was impressed with how he played at the position with limited reps, and he views the former first-round draft pick as a player with three-position versatility inside.
This would certainly be a switch-up from Strange's natural position.
