The New England Patriots announced the signing of rookie fourth-round draft pick Layden Robinson on Wednesday. Robinson is expected to contribute to the ongoing rebuild of the Patriots’ offensive line. Along with the tackle position, there are also questions surrounding the guard position for New England.
Robinson brings versatility to the team, as he is capable of playing at every interior position on the offensive line, including center. While he may be considered a depth option at guard for now, his ability to play multiple positions could prove valuable for the team in the future as they plan for life beyond veteran center David Andrews.
The signing of Robinson makes him the seventh rookie draft pick that the Patriots have officially brought on board. With only one remaining rookie left to sign, second-round pick wide receiver Ja’Lynn Polk, New England continues to make moves to strengthen their roster for the upcoming season.
