New England Patriots coach Jerod Mayo liked what he saw from rookie guard Layden Robinson in his first NFL start.
Robinson was part of the 2024 draft class. He was selected in the fourth round of the draft out of Texas A&M. Robinson was spoken of highly by the coaches throughout training camp as a potential contributor to the offensive line unit right out of the gates.
The Patriots’ offensive line had a solid game overall on Sunday, allowing one sack on quarterback Jacoby Brissett. It was an encouraging performance for a group that had a lot of question marks heading into the regular season.
“Yeah, there was a point in time during training camp where not only myself, but I think the other coaches saw it that we said, You know what? Layden Robinson has an opportunity to be a special player in this league,” said Mayo, via A to Z Sports’ Sophie Weller.

Robinson’s continued development will be something to keep an eye on as the Patriots are still searching for their best-five combination along the offensive front.
The rookie guard could see even more opportunities come his way after a stellar debut in the season opener.
