"Wills was selected with the 10th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft by Cleveland, with the former Alabama lineman starting 57 games at left tackle for the Browns. There is some history between Wills and Mike Vrabel, as they crossed paths in 2024 when Vrabel was a coaching and personnel consultant in Cleveland, primarily working with offensive linemen and tight ends."
"Injuries have derailed Wills' career as of late. He suffered a torn MCL after playing in eight games during the 2023 season and only appeared in five games the following year due to lingering knee issues. He opted to sit out the entire 2025 season to fully recover."
"The Patriots have committed to Will Campbell as the team's starting left tackle moving forward - despite his poor play during Super Bowl LX against Seattle. But, even if Campbell rights the ship, New England could use some reinforcements, especially with starting right tackle Morgan Moses turning 35 years old earlier this week."
The New England Patriots met with veteran offensive tackle Jedrick Wills this week as part of their free agency preparation. Wills, a former first-round pick by the Cleveland Browns in 2020, started 57 games at left tackle for the team before injuries derailed his career. He missed the entire 2025 season to recover from knee issues, including a torn MCL suffered in 2023. Wills is expected to visit multiple NFL teams in the coming weeks. The Patriots have history with Wills through coach Mike Vrabel, who worked with offensive linemen in Cleveland in 2024. Despite committing to Will Campbell as their starting left tackle, the Patriots seek reinforcements given Morgan Moses's age and their backup tackles' unrestricted free agent status.
