The New England Patriots’ offensive line is undoubtedly a work in progress.
The latest ranking from offensive line analyst Brandon Thorne has the Patriots slotted as the second-worst unit in the NFL. Only the Washington Commanders were picked as having a worse unit.
The Patriots made the offensive line a priority this offseason. They re-signed veterans Mike Onwenu and David Andrews to contract extensions, and they also added youth during the 2024 NFL draft by using a third and fourth-round pick on Penn State’s Caedan Wallace and Texas A&M’s Layden Robinson.
It became clear early that the offensive line would be a priority for the organization after they used their No. 3 overall draft pick on quarterback Drake Maye.
Even with all of their offseason moves, the Patriots still have some work to do. Thorne broke things down further in his recent ranking on Establish The Run, via Patriots.com’s Evan Lazar.
O-Line guru @BrandonThornNFL’s annual rankings are out. Brandon ranks the #Patriots as the second-worst OL in the NFL. Only ahead of the Commanders.
If this holds, it could factor into the decision of when to start Drake Maye.

The Patriots’ offensive line could improve throughout the season. There are still plenty of moving parts and question marks.
The foundation for the line is certainly there, especially given what the organization was able to do during the draft. Now, it’s just about development and execution.

For instance, Did Ozzy REALLY snort a line of ants as depicted in Motley Crue’s 2019 bio-pic, The Dirt? ** Did Ozzy Osbourne actually snort a line of ants while on tour with Mötley Crüe in the ’80s? As for whether that story is actually true, that depends on which Osbourne you ask. Ozzy says yes, but Sharon isn’t sure. **From The Osbournes:** Jack: “Did you actually snort ants?” Ozzy: “Yeah.” Jack: “Did he actually snort ants Mom?” Sharon: “I was not there, thank God. I used to try and stay away from Motley when they were with Ozzy. I don’t know. All I know is that I think it made their movie. And I wanna know why, now we’re on the subject, of why, when they advertise their movie on Netflix, it’s a picture of a guy imitating Ozzy. Why isn’t the ad campaign a picture of Motley Crue?” Jack: “‘Cause Ozzy Osbourne’s bigger than Motley Crue.” Sharon: “No, the thing is, I just think it’s an invasion.” Ozzy: “No. No. No. Stop. Stop. Stop. Let’s move on.” Sharon: “Nikki Sixx. Ass****.” Ozzy: “No, he’s not.” Sharon: “Yes, he [bleeping] is.” Jack: “So, did Dad snort the line of ants? Ozzy: “I did, I was there, I did it,” Ozzy says. “It’s my nostril … I was drunk, and I did it…600](https://www.9inenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/1752880029972-120x86.jpg)
