Patriots’ most satisfying storyline might be hiding in plain sight

One of the most underrated storylines of the New England Patriots’ resurgent 2025 season has been the play of the offensive line, which entered the year with a pair of rookie starters and four new faces overall in the starting lineup.

Only right guard Mike Onwenu returned from last year’s group, which according to Pro Football Focus, ranked 31st in pass protection and dead-last in run blocking.

Head coach Mike Vrabel addressed the problem head-on, first signing a pair of veterans in right tackles Morgan Moses, and center Garrett Bradbury. The Patriots then doubled-down in April’s draft, selecting Will Campbell with the 4th overall pick, and interior lineman Jared Wilson in the third round.
