Now that Patriots offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia has put an end to one mystery, saying last week the team drafted Joe Thuney to play on the inside as opposed to tackle, let’s get an even better handle on the North Carolina State product and how he might help the unit.
Matt Canada, North Carolina State’s offensive coordinator the past three seasons, provided some insight on Thuney and the type of player the Patriots are getting.
Like Scarnecchia, Canada also saw the 6-foot-5, 304-pound third-round pick as a guard or center in the NFL.
