Onwenu is slated to be the Patriots' starting right tackle in 2024, Mark Daniels of The Providence Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
Owenwu has bounced around New England's offensive line playing guard and tackle for the last two seasons, but that is no longer the plan for the 26-year-old. The 2020 sixth-rounder recently signed a three-year, $57 million contract extension with the team, whose new coaching staff views the Michigan product as exclusively a tackle.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
While it's still possible that Onwenu could move back to right tackle, where he started 12 games as a rookie in 2020, it seems more likely that the 6-3, 350-pounder will remain the Patriots' starter at right guard this coming season. In that context, the team's line would feature a starting unit that would also likely include Trent Brown, Cole Strange, David Andrews, Mike and Riley Reiff.
Onwenu, who was taken by the Patriots in the sixth round (182nd overall) of the 2020 NFL Draft, ended up being a huge draft steal for the team and the versatile lineman projects as the team's starting left guard this coming season.
