Patriots rookie OT reveals biggest 2026 goal, and it's a lofty one

New England Patriots offensive tackle Caleb Lomu has the Vince Lombardi Trophy on his mind.

According to Sports Illustrated's Mike Kadlick, Lomu stated at his introductory press conference on Thursday that he is out to add championship hardware to his resume right out of the gates with the Patriots.

"The Super Bowl is the biggest goal that I have for me and the team," Lomu said regarding his hopes for the 2026 NFL season.

The Patriots introduced Lomu as well as the rest of the 2026 NFL Draft class at Gillette Stadium. New England selected the Utah product with the No. 28 overall pick in this year's draft.

Lomu steps into the Patriots' offense after New England advanced to the Super Bowl at the end of last season. The 21-year-old has as strong a chance as there is to achieve his offseason goal of capturing Super Bowl glory in 2026, given the way that the Patriots maintained the strength of their roster in free agency and the draft this offseason.

The Patriots' offensive line was the punching bag for their loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl at the end of last season. Lomu will have the opportunity to help strengthen New England's offensive line on either side of the ball next season as the Patriots pursue their first Super Bowl win since the 2018 season.
