Position switch should benefit all parties—including Drake MayeCan a guy go from starting his entire rookie season at one position to playing another one entirely in year two? Even though the Patriots made him their starting left guard in 2025, most would argue that that was more out of necessity. As the team's new starting center, he must execute clean snaps, identify oncoming blitzers, make protection calls, and always be on the same page as Drake Maye.

Ultimately, the question of whether Jared Wilson can develop into a quality starting center for 2026 and beyond is just the tip of the iceberg.
