Late last week, the New England Patriots' assistant coaches met with the media for the first time since the Super Bowl. Among those to speak to the journalists was offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia, who will play a key role in finding the next blindside protector for Tom Brady: The Patriots are currently looking for a player to replace long-time starting left tackle Nate Solder, who left the team via free agency in March.
New England certainly has plenty of options even after releasing 2017 third-round draft pick Antonio Garcia with a non-football injury designation on Friday: The team added four players at the position since Solder left to compete against the incoming group of offensive tackles.
