NFL Draft results 2022: Why the Patriots selected Michigan offensive lineman Andrew Stueber

The New England Patriots were not expected to use all seven of their Day 3 selections in the 2022 NFL Draft, but they ended up doing just that. The final of those picks, coming at No. 245 in the seventh round, was invested in yet another offensive lineman.

After already drafting Cole Strange and Chasen Hines in the first and sixth rounds, respectively, the Patriots brought Andrew Stueber aboard. The Michigan man is obviously in a different position than roster lock Strange in particular, but he will be given a chance to prove himself upon his arrival in New England.
