The New England Patriots have finally added some much-needed depth at the linebacker position.

With the 212th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots select TCU LB Namdi Obiazor.

Standing at 6-foot-2 and 229 pounds, Obiazor led TCU in tackles last season, finishing with 88. He provides some necessary depth at linebacker, while also coming in as someone who can help out on special teams.

Obiazor has a good athletic profile, having run a 4.53-second 40-yard dash at the combine.
