Adrian Klemm is headed back to the NFL, and Oregon’s Dan Lanning once again has an opening to fill on his coaching staff.
According to multiple reports Monday morning, Klemm is joining the New England Patriots as offensive line coach and moving back to the pro ranks after one season in Eugene.
Klemm was the Ducks' associate head coach, offensive line coach and run game coordinator in 2022, a position he took last spring after leaving his job as offensive line coach with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Klemm was Patriots coach Bill Belichick’s first draft pick when he was taken 46th overall in the 2000 NFL Draft.
