Patriots' Hjalte Froholdt participating in unique offensive lineman training camp this week

The Patriots 4th round draft pick, interior offensive lineman Hjalte Froholdt will be attending a special workout session to get into game shape with other NFL talent; run by Joe Panos.

Panos spoke with Albert Breer and praised himself. “I absolutely love it because I know, without sounding like a jerk, they're going to get trained right. If they can't be with their coaches, I’d like to think I know what I'm doing here, I love the fact that I promised these kids and their parents that I’d take care of them to the best of my ability, that I'm gonna go above and beyond, and get them ready for the season.”

Panos, who has some coaching experience, and will be working on technique. Panos has reportedly spoke with the Patriots about what Froholdt needs to work on. That's according to Ryan Hannable of WEEI. 

Panos said he approached the players who were eager for the opportunity. As we know, time is money in the NFL. Panos will hold at least one more training session. It would be wise for the Patriots other young players to follow suit.

“I get a lot of gratitude watching these guys try to perfect their trade. I really, really, really do. And when I told them I wanted to do this, I said, What do you think? None of them had been talked into doing it. They jumped at it, because they all want to be good.” said Panos

Froholdt was injured and missed the entire 2019 season. The Patriots brought in competition. So if he is to secure the back up Interior line spot, he has to get a jump where he can. If there is no camp before the regular season,  Froholdt can not hope the Patriots put more value into the fact that he was a 4th round pick. So this is a must take opportunity.
