The New England Patriots are reportedly signing former DC Defenders guard Liam Fornadel, per Boston Globe’s Christopher Price.
Fornadel is listed as a guard, but he has multiple starts at both right and left tackle during his time in college at James Madison University. So right off the bat, he offers the sort of versatility a team experimenting with multiple offensive line combinations would want.
The Patriots have struggled along the offensive front in previous seasons, and some of those same issues showed up during the spring practices. Fornadel’s ability to work at both guard and tackle could earn him an opportunity to get on the field.
