It looks like the Patriots struck gold last year, with the selection of offensive tackle Sebastian Volmer in the second round.
“Sea Bass has had a real consistent year,” Pats’ Player Personnel Director Nick Cesario said. “He’s been out there since day one. To my recollection, I don’t think he’s missed a practice. I think he missed one last week, but that might’ve been the first one all year.
“Sea Bass has been a consistent performer really since he’s arrived. He’s improved. He’s got a pretty unique skill set. He had to play left tackle last year. This year, he’s predominately played on the right side.
“He’s got good size. He’s a good athlete for his size. He’s a smart guy. He studies. He understands what we’re trying to do offensively. He works well with that entire group. He and [Dan] Connolly on the right side and [Ryan] Wendell later in the year, but all those guys, they work well together. They communicate. Sea Bass has had a pretty steady. He works hard at it. It’s important to him.”
