Patriots’ Lineman Named One of NFL Draft’s Biggest Gems in Recent Years originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

The New England Patriots took a chance on offensive guard Mike Owenu in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, and it has paid out dividends for the franchise. Now, Onwenu is being tabbed as one of the biggest gems out of the draft in recent years.

According to Matt Holder of Bleacher Report, expectations for the University of Michigan product were mixed heading into the draft.

"Onwenu was a hulking offensive lineman who stood at 6'3" and nearly 350 pounds with 34u215c" arms.
