EspañolThere's been plenty of buzz surrounding the New England Patriots at the NFL combine, and one offensive lineman has been getting a chunk of it. Backup tackle Vederian Lowe, who filled in for Will Campbell for four games in 2025, has been a "popular name at the combine," according to MassLive's Mark Daniels and Karen Guregian.
The Patriots are hoping to re-sign Lowe, a pending free agent, but they could face some competition for his services. Despite serving as a reserve offensive tackle, Lowe showed real growth in New England last season. He had a solid run during his four-game stretch after Campbell suffered an MCL sprain late in the season.
Daniels and Guregian wrote:
"According to a source, the Patriots want to re-sign Lowe. However, they’ll have competition for the veteran. Lowe was a popular name at the Combine for teams looking for a backup left tackle."
The Patriots have worked hard to improve their offensive line depth. Losing a reliable veteran like Lowe would create a void that they would have to fill behind Campbell. There is hope for continuity by keeping Lowe and continuing to improve the depth for the 2026 season.
But left tackles are coveted in the NFL, and other teams could drive up the market enough to price the Patriots out.
