New England Patriots offensive lineman Michael Onwenu played three different positions across his first four seasons in the NFL. After signing his second contract with the Patriots on March 14 – a three-year deal worth $57 million – it appears Onwenu will finally settle into one singular position.
The Patriots plan to make Onwenu their starting right tackle moving forward, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Drafted by New England in the sixth round in 2020, Onwenu started 56 of the 64 games he's played over his first four NFL seasons. He has almost split time evenly at guard and tackle, playing just under 300 more snaps at a guard position than he did at tackle.
