Shining a spotlight on edge rushers – New England Patriots Blog – ESPN Boston

Is there room for Andre Carter here amongst this group? I think and hope so. Justin Francis gets some love here as well. He could be really useful if he can slide inside. Interior rushers are still a major question mark to me with Pryor and Fanene both still nursing injuries.

Justin Francis – The Rutgers product has seen his name pop up during OTAs and minicamp, and would appear to have the early edge on being the ‘annual’ undrafted rookie to emerge during the preseason. Francis appears to be slightly bulkier than his counterparts, and might have the ability to slide inside as an interior sub rusher.
