The New England Patriots selected Georgia IOL Jared Wilson with the No. 95 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. Jared Wilson is a one-year starter at center inside Georgia's 54-46 pass-run split, downhill run scheme, predicated on inside zone and gap concepts.

“Oh man, it was surreal,” Wilson said of being drafted. “I’m still trying to process it all. It was a long night waiting, but God put me in the right spot to be a New England Patriot, and I’m just excited for the opportunity ahead.”

Here are three reasons why the Patriots drafted Wilson: The main goal this offseason was to better protect Drake Maye. The Patriots signed veteran right tackle Morgan Moses and Bradbury in free agency. They also added veteran guard Wes Schweitzer. Still, they came into this draft with several question marks.
