The New England Patriots are reportedly expanding their offensive line coaching search to another former franchise player.
According to NBC Sports Boston’s Albert Breer, the Patriots are flying Buffalo Bills assistant Ryan Wendell out to Las Vegas to the site of the 2023 Shrine Bowl to interview for the job.
Wendell won Super Bowl XLIX with the Patriots, and he was also a former team captain back in 2015. As is the case with nearly every coaching hire in New England, there’s some deep connected root that goes back to coach Bill Belichick.
Wendell fits the mold, and he’ll be given an opportunity to land the job.
