Vrabel Coaches Iheanachor at ASU Pro Day

0:00On March 28th, New England Patriots head coach Mike Raeble turned heads at Arizona State University's pro-day on March 27th. With the team eyeing upgrades for their offensive line ahead of the 2026 draft, Raeble got hands-on with stand-out offensive tackle, Max. Ihanacore coaching him on hand placement during one-on-one drills. Ihanacore stands six-foot-six and weighs 321 pounds. Born in Nigeria, he started football late after shining in high school basketball. He started 31 games at right tackle for the sun devils, and in 12 games last season, he gave up just 14 pressures with no sacks, allowed. Raeble called the session fun and noted a top 30 meeting with the organization. For the Patriots, it highlights needs along the line, especially with right tackle, Morgan Moses, now 35 years old, and his contract lacking, guarantees past this season. The offensive line faced heavy criticism after a tough Super Bowl loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

1:01New England signed Elisia Vera Tucker for left guard, shifted Jared Wilson to center after trading Garrett Bradbury and their banking on Mike, Campbell holding down the spot. If the Patriots grab Ihanacore in the first or second round, it could reshape their early draft plans, prioritizing the trenches over edge rushers or wide receivers for now.
