Penn State football offensive lineman Caedan Wallace seems a prudent if not an under-the-radar early draft choice of the New England Patriots.
He's one of the most seasoned blockers in the entire 2024 NFL Draft (four-year starter).
He offers intriguing versatility, not just at both tackle spots but being comfortable, he says, working at all five offensive line positions.
He certainly was one of the most improved starters in the Big Ten last season − evidenced by allowing just one sack in more than 350 pass-blocking snaps.
And there's this: Wallace comes from an education-first family (his hobbies include Greek and Roman history).
