If the Patriots draft a defensive lineman in April’s draft it will add yet another young body to a growing group. While we’re all familiar with names like Ty Warren, Brandon Deaderick, and Kyle Love, second year player Kade Weston isn’t often considered when talking about returning defensive linemen.
At 6’ 5" and 317 pounds Weston is the ideal size for a defensive end in the Patriots scheme. And have played in the vaunted SEC is a reason that it might be interesting to see what Weston can do.
Put it this way… Deaderick and Love are big guys, and in the picture below you can see that Weston is even bigger than both of them.
Weston suffered an internal injury in the preseason game against the Falcons and required surgery. There’s no question he needed some time to develop anyways, but considering the Patriots spent a draft pick on him they must’ve seen some potential in him. He’ll be one guy under the radar to keep an eye on.
