"Lomu is a long, athletic tackle whom the Patriots praised for his versatility. It could come in handy as New England plans out the future of its offensive line."
"Wolf said he doesn't expect either side to be a problem for Lomu, given his length and athleticism. 'He's still 21 years old, played mostly on the left side,' Wolf said."
"Lomu started all 12 games at left tackle for Utah last season and didn't allow a sack. Utah stuck with him on the left side, and Fano on the right side."
The New England Patriots traded up to select offensive tackle Caleb Lomu from Utah in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. This marks the second consecutive year the team has chosen an offensive tackle in the first round. Lomu, praised for his versatility and athleticism, primarily played left tackle at Utah, where he started all 12 games without allowing a sack. The Patriots plan to utilize his skills to strengthen their offensive line as they prepare for the future.
