FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- When it comes to the New England Patriots' task of replacing left tackle Nate Solder in 2018, few can offer the type of perspective that Matt Light can.
Light protected Tom Brady's blind side from 2001-2011 and is the 2018 inductee into the Patriots Hall of Fame. Furthermore, as a rookie, he started 15 games at left tackle for the Patriots (12 in the regular season, three in the playoffs).
This season, the Patriots might be turning to a rookie to replace Solder after selecting Georgia's Isaiah Wynn in the first round of the draft.
