New England Patriots right guard Mike Onwenu is approaching a contract year in 2026 with major implications for himself and the team.
Onwenu allowed two sacks and 21 total pressures last season for the Patriots. The Michigan native committed three penalties on the year, but was otherwise a reliable pass-protector for Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, having received a player grade of 78.2 from Pro Football Focus for the season.
