The New England Patriots are facing a competition for their center position following the release of longtime starter David Andrews. Coach Mike Vrabel highlighted Cole Strange's effort and adaptability in transitioning from guard to center, citing his impressive work at the end of last season. Despite a significant injury that sidelined him, Strange's commitment to the new role will be evaluated against other candidates, including Garrett Bradbury and Wes Schweitzer, starting with the offseason workouts on April 7.
Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel expressed confidence in Cole Strange's development, stating, ‘He’ll work on the interior three, but I think you give him an opportunity to compete at center.'
Cole Strange originally joined the Patriots as the 29th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft and had to adapt from guard to center after a long injury recovery.
The Patriots have multiple candidates vying for the center position, but the coaching staff remains committed to Cole Strange's development at the new role.
