Jared Wilson, a third-round draft pick for the New England Patriots, has been highlighted for his athleticism by offensive line coach Stacy Searels. Wilson's performance at the NFL combine was notable, with a time of 4.84 seconds in the 40-yard dash, marking him as the fastest center prospect. The Patriots have struggled with their offensive line performance, ranking 31st in pass block win rate last year. It's essential for the team to improve this infrastructure to support quarterback Drake Maye effectively as they head into training camp.
"I've had nine or 10 centers go and play in the NFL, and Jared is the most athletic of any of them," Searels told ESPN. "He has the tools to really be good."
Wilson's athleticism was on display at the NFL combine in February when he was timed at 4.84 seconds in the 40-yard dash, easily the fastest among the prospects at the position.
Arguably nothing is more important than providing solid infrastructure around quarterback Drake Maye, and the offensive line has been shaky in recent seasons.
Last year, the Patriots ranked 31st in pass block win rate, according to ESPN Analytics, with that coming one season after they were last in the NFL.
