Clemson cornerback Andrew Booth and Texas A&M offensive lineman Kenyon Green and are set to meet with the New England Patriots for a Top-30 visit ahead of the 2022 NFL draft, according to reports. Booth and Green are likely to land in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft this April. New England picks at 21st overall in the first round.
Booth is among the top cornerback prospects after an impressive year with the Tigers. He logged three interceptions, 37 tackles and five pass breakups.
New England is in need of help at cornerback after seeing J.C. Jackson sign with the Los Angeles Chargers this offseason. The Patriots added cornerbacks Malcolm Butler and Terrance Mitchell in free agency. They bring depth — but don’t solidify the top end of the position.
Sources: Texas A&M All-American OL Kenyon Green, who made starts at every single offensive line position except center this past season, is with the #Cowboys today.
Also on his schedule: Giants, Eagles, Titans, Texans, Falcons, Bears and Patriots.
Busy.

Top 30 visits:
— #Clemson CB Andrew Booth is visiting the #Saints and has #Patriots on Friday. He was recently at the #Eagles and #Bills.
— #OSU WR Chris Olave is with the Commanders today and tomorrow, as is SDSU DL Cam Thomas. #Mich St RB Kenneth Walker III is there on Friday.— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) April 6, 2022
Green has played guard and tackle, but appears significantly more comfortable at the guard position. He was only forced into action at tackle after the Aggies dealt with injuries at the position. The 6-foot-4, 320 pound lineman started every game of his college career — and started at four different positions along the o-line in 2021.
New England needs help at the guard position after seeing Ted Karras leave in free agency and trading away Shaq Mason. Guard Michael Onwenu is expected to slide into one of those spots, but the other spot remains a question mark.
