Patriots first-rounder Cole Strange had six O-line coaches in college, used to ‘hate’ pass blocking

Cole Strange has had to make a lot of changes to his game since arriving at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in 2016. It started with him switching from defense to offense right after joining the team, and continued while he played under six offensive line coaches during his six college seasons.

The New England Patriots first-round pick discussed his college career and skillset as an offensive lineman a couple of weeks before the 2022 NFL Draft in a sitdown with Trench Warfare’s Brandon Thorn. In addition to breaking down some of his plays, Strange discussed his path from a high school defensive end to a now an NFL offensive lineman.
