New England Patriots Select Georgia Center Jared Wilson in 2025 NFL Draft
The New England Patriots have bolstered their offensive line by selecting Georgia center Jared Wilson with the 95th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing 310 pounds, Wilson, 21, is set to compete for the starting center position against veteran Garrett Bradbury and first-round pick Cole Strange.
Wilson did not allow a single sack during his 2024 season with the Bulldogs, showcasing his promising potential. While experts note his inconsistency as a drive blocker and his need for further development, his athleticism and intelligence on the field are highly regarded. Dane Brugler from The Athletic highlighted his body control and movement skills, drawing comparisons to notable player Rodney Hudson.
Originally a soccer player, Wilson began his football career in high school and moved to center just last year. He recorded impressive metrics at the NFL Combine, including a remarkable 4.84-second 40-yard dash.
The Patriots are actively surrounding quarterback Drake Maye with talent, having also made strategic selections in the draft, including running back TreVeyon Henderson and wide receiver Kyle Williams.
