FOXBORO — Despite its struggles in 2021, the New England Patriots offensive line is still considered among the best in the NFL.
Boasting a balance of capable starters and strong pool of reserves, the Pats’ protective unit has recently ranked as high as seventh in the league based on its 2021 performance.
Still, the team heavily invested in their offensive line during the 2022 NFL Draft, selecting three linemen: Cole Strange (first-round, 29th overall), Chasen Hines (sixth-round, 210th overall) and Andrew Stueber (seventh-round, 245th overall).
Though Strange took reps with the starters during OTAs and minicamp, Hines and Stueber were both deemed not ready to practice.
