Atlanta FalconsGiven that the Tom Brady/Bill Belichick-era Patriots have
seemingly never played in a boring Super Bowl, it is no surprise that NFL
Network’s slate of games includes four all-time classics: from the stunning
upset against the Rams — the Patriots’ opponent this year as well — to the
back-and-forth versus the Panthers, to the last-second victory over the Seattles
Seahawks, to the greatest comeback of all time against Atlanta.Make sure to set
those DVRs and get yourselves in the right mood for Super Bowl 53. New England
has made some moves."The New England Patriots have officially signed the first
members of their 2019 rookie class. According to the NFL’s transaction wire, the
club has added the following ten undrafted free agents to its 90-man roster:All
of the moves have already been reported previously, so today’s announcement is
merely a confirmation of those reports. With that in mind, let’s find out a bit
more about each of the players via our Patriots Undrafted Free Agents Tracker:OT
Calvin Anderson, Texas (6050, 300 lbs): Anderson is a raw prospect at this point
in his career: he has the frame to find success as a run blocker and pass
protector, but needs to work on his hand usage and improve his fluidity. All in
all, the 23-year-old is a project for Patriots offensive line coach Dante
Scarnecchia to work with — but should not necessarily be counted on to grow into
anything more than a camp body.TE Andrew Beck, Texas (6040, 260 lbs): Serving
primarily as a blocking tight end, Beck caught just 39 passes for 435 yards and
4 touchdown during his collegiate career. A team captain at Texas, he has
adequate size to improve as a target in the aerial game but lacks the functional
athleticism and route-running skills to make that step just yet.RB Nick
Brossette
2019 N'Keal Harry Jersey , LSU (5111, 209 lbs): 2018 was Brossette’s breakout season at LSU, as he lead the team with 240 carries, 1,039 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Despite being a physical runner with solid vision and skills as a pass
protector, Brossette does not stand out in any particular category. In New
England, he will therefore serve as a depth option behind Sony Michel and
third-round rookie Damien Harris.WR Ryan Davis, Auburn (5099, 189 lbs): Playing
alongside Patriots fourth-round draft pick Jarrett Stidham, Davis led Auburn in
receptions (69) and yards (546) in 2018. He lined up all over the formation for
the Tigers, but projects primarily as a slot receiver at the next level due to
his combination of quickness and size. Davis also has experience as a punt
returner.SS Malik Gant, Marshall (5116, 209 lbs): A physical defensive back,
Gant was used in various ways at Marshall. Given his frame and tackling
abilities, however, he appears best suited to serve as a safety/linebacker
hybrid at the next level: aligning closer to the box allows him to play off
strengths in the running game and should ideally give him more favorable
coverage matchups against tight ends and running backs.OL Tyler Gauthier, Miami
(6050, 300 lbs): Gauthier served as Miami’s starting center for the last two
years and therefore brings lots of experience to the table. A solid pass
protector than surrendered no sacks in 2018 and only 10 total pressures, he also
possesses the versatility and size to successfully line up as a guard.LB Terez
Hall
N'Keal Harry NFL Draft , Missouri (6011, 230 lbs): What Hall may lack in size, he makes up with his physicality as a downhill defender and coverage player. While
his decision making and general feel for the game need to improve, he could find
a role on the Patriots’ roster as a depth linebacker and special teams option.
Hall was given a guaranteed $70,000 base salary as well as a $10,000 signing
bonus, according to the Houston Chronicle’s Aaron Wilson.WR Jakobi Myers, N.C.
State (6016, 203 lbs): A bigger slot receiver at 6’2, Myers has the quickness
and ball skills to find success at the next level. Despite not being the most
explosive wideout, Myers was productive during his final season at N.C. State:
appearing in 12 games, he caught a team-high 92 passes for 1,047 yards and 4
touchdowns.CB D’Angelo Ross, New Mexico (5080, 175 lbs): Despite his height,
Ross earned a starting spot in New Mexico and turned into a productive player
for the Lobos: the speester registered a pair of interceptions and six
additional pass deflections. At the next level, he will likely have to make his
mark through special teams or as a slot cornerback.OT Tyree St. Louis, Miami
(6050, 305 lbs): St. Louis brings plenty of experience — he started 34 straight
games to end his college career — and versatility to the table
Color Rush Jarrett Stidham Jersey , as well as an intriguing frame. However, the Miami product needs to improve all facets of his technique to become more
consistent in the running and the passing game.The Patriots have also signed
defensive lineman Nick Thurman. After going undrafted in 2018, the Houston
Texans signed Thurman as a free agent. Despite registering eleven tackles in his
team’s four preseason contests, Bill O’Brien’s team opted to part ways with him
again and waived him as part of final roster cuts. Thurman failed to find a new
home and ultimately headed to the now-defunct Alliance of American Football.The
6’4, 295-pound defender never appeared in a game for the San Antonio Commanders,
however, as he was let go before the AAF’s first (and only) season even began.
In early April, Thurman finally found his way onto an NFL roster again when the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed him as a free agent. His stint with the club was a
short one: following last week’s draft, he was released again.Now, the
23-year-old will join a Patriots team that is undergoing a transformation along
the defensive edge with Michael Bennett and Chase Winovich prime candidates to
help fill the spots previously occupied by Trey Flowers and Adrian Clayborn.
Thurman will add the competition for a role alongside them as well as fellow top
options Deatrich Wise Jr. and John Simon.[UPDATE 05/02/2019; 5:44 p.m.]
According to the team itself, the Patriots have also signed defensive lineman
Shilique Calhoun. Originally joining the league in 2016 as a third-round draft
pick by the Oakland Raiders, Calhoun appeared in 26 NFL games so far in his
career: a rotational defensive edge and special teamer, the Michigan State
product bounced around the Raiders’ active roster and practice squad — and last
year, injured reserve as well.After starting the 2018 season on Oakland’s
practice squad, Calhoun was promoted to the active roster in mid-September. He
went on to appear in seven games, registering twelve tackles and a quarterback
hit. However, his season came to an end when the Raiders placed him on injured
reserve due to a knee injury in December. Oakland did not re-sign Calhoun after
the season had ended, which allowed him to sign with the Patriots now.
