There have only been five Patriots training camp practices, and while we don’t want to annoy Bill Belichick by getting overzealous with our analysis just yet, it’s obvious that some young and new players are emerging and could take on significant roles with the team this season.

That kind of financial commitment, along with the Patriots’ need at linebacker, make Langi a player to watch this summer. But how might he fit into their scheme and why would they put such a value on him?

Let’s take a deeper look.

Quick Hits on Patriots Undrafted Free Agent Signees

by

Every year, no matter how stacked the Patriots seem to be, an undrafted rookie makes the team and finds a way to contribute. None have been more famous than Malcolm Butler, who was making plays on the ball from his earliest days in training camp, and ended the season making then biggest play on the ball in Patriots history.

Who will be this year’s Malcolm Butler? With the Pats selecting just four players in the draft, there’s more opportunity than ever for an unknown to fill a significant role.

Here are a bunch of quick hits on the undrafted rookies the Patriots have reportedly signed so far.
