The Patriots offensive line was in shambles to start the season, and they can use any help they can get.
According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, New England worked out former Carolina Panthers offensive tackle J.D. DiRenzo. The 6-foot-6, 315-pound offensive lineman was waived last offseason with an injury designation and worked out with the Pittsburgh Steelers last week.
Carolina signed DiRenzo as an undrafted free agent after the 2023 NFL Draft. The 26-year-old played on the left and right side at Sacred Heart and Rutgers. He was named All-Northeast Conference in 2019, and he earned offensive MVP at Rutgers in 2022.
