What happened: The New England Patriots officially signed first-round offensive tackle Caleb Lomu to a four-year rookie contract on Monday. The Utah product was selected 28th overall in April, and his signing leaves just one member of New England's nine-player draft class unsigned.

Why it matters: Lomu represents a key investment in protecting the pocket after New England traded up to secure him. The first-team All-Big 12 standout did not allow a sack in his final college season and is projected as the team's primary swing tackle for 2026.

What to watch: Second-round pick Gabe Jacas remains the only draft selection without a deal. The full rookie class is expected to participate in New England's mandatory minicamp scheduled for next week.
