Sean McVay has plenty of respect for Bill Belichick, and it's showing in his 2023 offseason coaching hires.
McVay's Los Angeles Rams are hiring Buffalo Bills assistant offensive line coach and former New England Patriots lineman Ryan Wendell as their new offensive line coach, ESPN's Dan Graziano reported Wednesday night.
Wendell played eight of his nine NFL seasons with Belichick's Patriots from 2008 to 2015, helping New England win Super Bowl XLIX as the team's starting right guard. He joined the Bills as their assistant o-line coach in 2019 and reportedly interviewed for the Patriots' offensive line coach opening before New England hired Adrian Klemm.
