Jerod Mayo calls rookie one of the Patriots’ hardest practice players

New England Patriots coach Jerod Mayo hinted at offensive line changes ahead of Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also highlighted guard Layden Robinson, who has been impressing the coaching staff over the last couple of weeks.

Robinson was selected by the Patriots in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL draft. Since then, he has been working his way into the Patriots’ starting offensive line rotation. He has started at the right guard position for the organization this season.

Mayo talked about Robinson’s work ethic since arriving in New England.

“Layden (Robinson) is one of the hardest practicing guys on the team,” Mayo said, via NESN.com’s Keagan Stiefel . “He always shows tremendous effort, and sometimes you hit a wall. He’s gone through that wall and he’ll play (Sunday). He’s a very tough player and I look forward to his future, as well.”

Robinson’s potential insertion back into the starting lineup would certainly be a switch-up for a line that has had a different combination every week.

Nevertheless, his development and emergence over the past couple of weeks could bode well for his future in the unit.
