When the New England Patriots released longtime starter David Andrews earlier this month, they created a free-for-all at their center position. Former first-round draft pick Cole Strange, who moved from guard to center last season, will be among those competing to fill the vacant job.
Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed Strange’s positional outlook in a sit-down with reporters at the NFL meetings in Palm Springs.
“Cole’s worked hard at center the last couple weeks of the season. It was pretty impressive considering he hadn’t spent much time there,” Vrabel said at the AFC coach’s breakfast on Monday.
