According to reports from Patriots Wire, the New England Patriots are set to sign former DC Defenders guard Liam Fornadel. Fornadel has experience playing at both guard and tackle positions during his time at James Madison University, bringing versatility to the Patriots’ offensive line. This versatility is valuable for a team exploring different offensive line combinations.
The signing of Fornadel comes as the Patriots released rookie offensive guard Ryan Johnson earlier in the week. The move indicates that the team is looking for immediate impact and improvement on the offensive line, and they are hoping Fornadel can provide just that. The Patriots have faced challenges with their offensive line in past seasons, and these issues were evident during spring practices. However, Fornadel’s ability to play both guard and tackle positions gives him a good chance of earning playing time on the team. His experience and success in the XFL as one of the top offensive linemen in the league in 2023 make him a promising addition to the team.
