Patriots Meet with Jayden Williams for Offensive Line Rebuild

For the NFL, it's March 20th, and here's what's going on.

The New England Patriots are deep into offseason mode,

turning their focus to the 2026 NFL draft after some key free agency signings.

Despite adding guard Alicia Vera Tucker to the mix,

the team still needs more help on the offensive line, especially a tackle.

They trade at center-guaraberry to the Chicago Bears

and lost tackle Viderian Low to the San Francisco 49ers.

With their month for junior status unclear,

Depp is a real concern heading into next season.

Earlier this week, the Pats met with Ole Miss offensive linemen

Jaden Williams to check him out.

The six foot four and a half,

336 pound prospect, ran a 5.0340 yard dash,

lead 29.5 inches vertically, and cranked out 26 bench press reps.

Williams impressed in drills and shows versatility as a potential swing tackle,

though he's raw and likely headed for the sixth or seventh round,

or even undrafted.

His pro-day performance has teams paying attention.

New England is leaving no stone unturned with 11 draft picks ahead,

building a stronger line to support their rebuild.
