On Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots prioritized offensive players, including a center from Georgia, Jared Wilson, who had only one year of starting experience. Despite this, Wilson feels adequately prepared thanks to his prior experience against top talent during practice, earning him recognition as a standout prospect. Eliot Wolf, EVP of player personnel, emphasized Wilson's potential for growth, noting his athletic ability and impressive size, indicating the Patriots' confidence in his future contributions to the team's offensive line.
"I went against elite NFL guys every single day of practice on the scout team. It was all just leading me up for this past season to have a great season."
"He's still a young guy. Playing one year is kind of maybe what we liked a little bit. The upside, the trajectory for him to have the success he had this year as a first-year starter."
