Patriots Draft Utah's Caleb Lomu

0:00On April 24th, Patriots just snag Utah tackle Caleb Lomu with the 28th pick in the first round of the NFL draft. The 21-year-old started 24 games that left tackle over his last two college seasons, and now he's heading to New England to bolster. They're offensive line. Right after his name got called, Lomu got a welcome text from teammate Will Campbell last year's first round pick. They didn't know each other before, but now they'll line up together with Lomu flipping to right tackle behind veteran Morgan Moses. Lomu's pumped about the move, saying he'll play anywhere they need him on the line. Fans are buzzing too. Seeing this as a smart ad to protect young franchise quarterback Drake May, who Lomu called, super talented. The paths weren't expecting Lomu to fall that far, so they traded up three spots to grab him at 28th overall. They even cancelled his pre-draft visit thinking he'd go earlier. Lomu always wanted to join this storied organization, and now he's locked in to grind every day, keeping May upright and pushing the line forward.
