Jared Wilson transitions back to center for Patriots ahead of training camp

New England Patriots center Jared Wilson is shifting back to his original position of center as the team prepares for training camp. Former NFL GM Ran Carthon expressed optimism about Wilson returning to center, where he previously earned second-team All-SEC honors. The Patriots aim to improve their offensive line performance following last season's struggles, particularly during the Super Bowl. Wilson played 13 games at left guard last season after starting as center in 2024, when he was selected in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft. The team hopes this position change will enhance both Wilson's contributions and the effectiveness of quarterback Drake Maye.
