The New England Patriots rounded out their top priorities of coaching hires under Jerod Mayo on Thursday with Alex Van Pelt being named the team’s offensive coordinator.
Van Pelt had the same position for four seasons with the Cleveland Browns, most recently guiding a productive group in a season where the team had five different quarterbacks running the offense. Notably, the Browns posted 30 or more points in three of their final five games with veteran passer Joe Flacco.
While he may not currently be under contract with the Patriots, pending New England free agent linebacker Mack Wilson took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to react to the hire.
