In a recent post listing the most overpaid player for all 32 teams in the NFL, recently paid offensive lineman Mike Onwenu was picked for the New England Patriots by Bleacher Reports' Brad Gagnon.
Here's what Gagnon said about Onwenu:
"The 26-year-old is a solid, versatile contributor, but he's also a sixth-round pick with no major pro accomplishments who is now one of the 10 highest-paid offensive tackles in football with a $19 million average annual salary."
This offseason, New England gave Onwenu a three-year, $57 million deal, making him the fourth-highest-paid right tackle in football annually, according to Over the Cap.
When Onwenu has been healthy he's been great, and he has the ability to play both guard and tackle, depending on which position the Patriots have needed the help at.
In his four seasons, Onwenu has never graded below a 71.5 from Pro Football Focus. In three of his first four years, he's received at least a 79.3.
