Patriots Select O-Lineman Chasen Hines From LSU Late In Sixth Round
BOSTON (CBS) -- The Patriots' first pick this year was on the interior of the offensive line. They made another selection in that area with pick No. 210, drafting Chasen Hines out of LSU.
The 6-foot-3, 327-pound Hines has experience at both guard positions and at center.
Hines joins Cole Strange as newcomers to the O-line in New England, after the Patriots drafted Strange out of UT-Chattanooga at No. 20 overall.
New Patriots guard Chasen Hines said baseball was his first passion growing up. He said David Ortiz was one of his favorite players growing up and he rooted for the Red Sox. Teammates called him "Big Papa" and he wore No. 34.
