Newly-signed New England Patriots offensive lineman Riley Reiff had high praise for offensive line coach Adrian Klemm on Tuesday.
Klemm came over from the Oregon Ducks in January. He left Eugene with a good resume. Oregon finished as the top school in all of college football in sacks allowed in the 2022 season. They gave up just five takedowns in 13 contests.
Klemm should be able to help a Patriots offensive line that struggled at times last season by giving up 41 sacks on the year. That put them in the middle of the pack in the NFL.
“It’s been great,” said Reiff. “Right now, we’re in the offseason workouts learning the playbook, learning the techniques that he wants. He’s been an awesome coach, teacher—and we’re just trying to build every day.”

It will be intriguing to see how the offensive line performs under Klemm after a difficult season last year. This vote of confidence from Reiff is certainly encouraging, as New England looks to remain afloat in the AFC East.
