The Patriots' gap/duo power run blocking scheme values versatile, intelligent offensive linemen who can execute multiple assignments with precision and consistency.
Thuney projects as an immediate starter at guard, with the ceiling to become a long-term anchor on the interior offensive line, capable of playing all three inside positions.
He would be a poor fit in a purely zone-blocking scheme that prioritizes explosive lateral quickness over raw power and intelligence.
His athleticism and football IQ make him a seamless fit in the Patriots' system, offering flexibility and reliability across the interior offensive line.
Selected #78 overall in Round 3 of the 2016 NFL Draft by New England Patriots out of NC State.
