Wilson was moved off left guard after a rough start, with Ben Brown stepping in during practice. The sequence suggested performance over health as the decider, highlighting how the Patriots will approach the gamble of rookie Campbell at left tackle and the need for interior stability.

Wilson’s day on the field included one of the sacks credited to Patriots rookies and highlighted the need for continued improvement in pass protection. As NE evaluates its interior line and edge rush dynamics, Wilson’s development will be a barometer for continuity and future rotational depth in the offensive line.

Wilson’s movement and quickness in the left guard role showed a usable basis in run-blocking schemes, though a few snaps exposed technique gaps in the pro style. Coaching emphasized refinement of footwork and quick, decisive hand placement to shore up consistency.

Wilson’s 3‐0 mark in pass-rushing drills and rapid ascent to starting left guard signals a potential lineman upgrade for NE’s line, with direct implications for the running game and pass protection. If he sustains this level, Wilson could emerge as a steady contributor and a sneaky fantasy depth piece in modern lineups.

Jared Wilson, drafted in the third round, has impressed as a versatile offensive lineman, stepping up to play with the first unit during training camp. His adaptability and skill set make him a valuable addition to the Patriots' line.
