Caleb Lomu
21-Year-Old
Signed a four-year contract with the Patriots in June of 2026.
Lands with Patriots
The Patriots selected Lomu in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 28th overall.
ANALYSIS
Lomu (6-foot-6, 313 pounds) went much later than his Utah teammate Spencer Fano (ninth overall to Cleveland), yet it was actually Lomu who was the left tackle on the Utah offensive line (Fano played the right side). Landing with New England likely means Lomu will need to move to the right side -- Will Campbell is locked in on the left -- and on the right side Lomu might need a little bit of development time, if only to add some weight. In the meantime Lomu's finesse game is already convincing -- he's an excellent athlete (4.99-second 40, 32.5-inch vertical) and should fit in easily as a pass blocker.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Shifting to right tackle
Lomu will get work at right tackle during the Patriots' offseason program, Albert Breer of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Utah product mainly played left tackle last season before being the 28th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, but Lomu will switch across the line rather than displace Will Campbell, taken fourth overall in 2025, on the left side. Campbell did struggle late last season after returning from a knee injury, however, and if he can't regain the form he showed early in his rookie campaign, Lomu would give New England some flexibility in how to assemble its best possible unit to protect Drake Maye.
