On Friday, the New England Patriots selected Michigan outside linebacker Josh Uche to amp up their pass rush. On Saturday, they selected another former Wolverine in offensive guard Michael Onwenu to fortify their O-line.
New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels’ younger brother, Ben McDaniels, has been with the Michigan coaching staff under Jim Harbaugh since 2018. He was promoted to quarterbacks coach in 2019, a role he’ll maintain this upcoming season as well.
Is it fair to wonder if the connection might be coming to good use for the elder brother McDaniels and New England head coach Bill Belichick in this draft?
