Caleb Lomu, the New England Patriots' first-round pick, is gaining experience at multiple positions during training camp. Originally drafted as a right tackle, Lomu is now practicing at guard to bolster the team's depth at that position. With veteran Morgan Moses starting at right tackle and four other Super Bowl starters returning, Lomu's versatility may become vital if injuries occur along the offensive line. Reports suggest he could emerge as a key backup option, potentially covering four positions on the line.
