We may have gotten a preview of the New England Patriots starting left tackle position for the upcoming season.
When speaking with the media at a pre-draft press conference on Thursday, director of scouting Eliot Wolf indicated Chukwuma Okorafor would be the starting left tackle if the season started today.
Okorafor was signed by the Patriots on March 7 as a means to adding additional offensive line depth. He played for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 2018-2023, playing in 77 games with 59 starts.
He was released by the Steelers organization in February.
