The Patriots reportedly will take a look at a player who potentially could help New England bolster one of its most important position groups.

Jerod Mayo and company have arranged a workout with Liam Fornadel, an offensive lineman who played with the XFL’s DC Defenders last season, per Pro Football Newsroom’s James Larsen. Fornadel reportedly will also work out with the Green Bay Packers this week.

Fornadel, who played his collegiate football at James Madison, played every snap for the Defenders last season and did not allow a sack, per Larsen. Those efforts helped the 6-foot-4, 312-pound lineman earn a spot on the 2023 All-XFL team before the league merged with the United States Football League (USFL).
