Calvin Anderson, the New England Patriots offensive tackle, stands at 6'5" and weighs 300 lbs, with length, quick feet, and agility, which help him stay in front of edge rushers and adjust to different pass rush moves effectively.
Calvin made his way back to the New England Patriots last year after his initial stint with the team in 2019 when he was released during final roster cuts before the regular season began. Anderson's return to the Patriots came through free agency, which allowed him to compete for a roster spot and potentially contribute to the team’s offensive line which was going through a major overhaul.
Upon rejoining the Patriots, Anderson was expected to compete alongside veteran Riley Reiff for the starting right tackle position. His versatility, having experience at left and right tackle positions, made him a valuable asset going into the season. Unfortunately, Anderson’s aspirations for a strong return to New England were complicated by health challenges, including a severe bout of malaria during training camp and a subsequent heart contusion in the early part of the season. These setbacks affected his availability and performance throughout the remainder of the season.
Despite the challenges he faced, Anderson’s resilience and determination to overcome adversity have been notable and he looks to be working his way back. If he can regain his form he might have a shot at one of the tackle positions due to his versatility and athleticism that should be operable with expected changes in the offensive blocking doctrine. In fact, looking at the current offensive tackles on the roster… Calvin is physically the best fit.
