The New England Patriots need an additional starting offensive tackle. And they might have their eyes set on someone.
According to Sportskeeda's Tony Pauline, the Patriots will be hosting BYU's Kingsley Suamataia on an official 30 visit.
He could be available at the beginning of the second round, and the Patriots currently hold the No. 34 overall pick. So it makes sense that they want to learn more about him.
He is very versatile, being able to play at both right and left tackle. He further expressed this when speaking with A to Z Sports' Travis May at the NFL Combine.
"When I talked to Kingsley Suamataia at the NFL Combine I learned a lot about him personally. One of the most interesting things he shared was that he's ambidextrous, and can write perfectly with both hands," May wrote. "He also said he can switch sides of the offensive line just as well if needed. Suamataia isn't just saying that either. He logged nearly 700 snaps at both right and left tackle playing for BYU."
May added that Suamataia is in the 93rd percentile A to Z Sports Athletic Composite and would make him a steal in the draft.
