Patriots ready to keep Michael Onwenu at right guard: ‘That’s where we’d like to play him’

Since joining the New England Patriots in 2020, Michael Onwenu has played all over the team’s offensive line.

In his rookie season, Onwenu played over 600 snaps at right tackle while also filling in at both guard positions (297 snaps). His versatility was on display again last season as he played 290 snaps at left guard and 276 at right tackle.

Now this season with the Patriots getting inconsistent play at right tackle between Isaiah Wynn, Marcus Cannon, and Yodny Cajuste, bumping Onwenu back out to right tackle seemed to be on the table after his strong performance at this position in the past.
