Cunningham

Aside from 59 Week 2 snaps at right tackle, Cunningham mostly featured on special teams last season. Two months shy of his 27th birthday, Cunningham has never been a regular starter. He will have to re-earn his 53-man roster spot under new coach Brian Daboll.

Cunningham had been getting some first-team reps but was slated to open the year in a backup role. He gives the Patriots a swing tackle behind Isaiah Wynn and Marcus Cannon. Cunningham made six spot starts as a rookie last year and has the talent to develop into a full-time starter.

Cunningham (6'5/311) didn’t allow a single sack last season and posted the second-highest SPARQ score among offensive tackles before the draft, behind only Raiders first-round pick Kolton Miller. Cunningham has short arms and struggled to block powerful linemen in the American Athletic Conference, but he is worth a short to develop based on his movement skills and size.
