The Patriots’ youngest legitimate receiving “prospect” is 28 years old. His name is Wes Welker. While the Patriots could be set at the position for the upcoming season, they desperately need youth. To me, one player that could bring both youth and talent to the table is Clemson wide receiver Aaron Kelly.

Rodney Harrison n the new rule changes, including the Tom Brady rule:
“It’s crazy Dan. Dan, it’s crazy. I mean you sit back and you’ve been taught since you’ve been six or seven years old to finish the play, and that’s all the coaches yell and scream. ‘Finish the play! Finish the Play,’ and now all [...]
The Patriots signed offensive / defensive lineman Damane Duckett to a one year contract yesterday. Duckett, 6-6, 315 pounds, is an offensive lineman converted from defensive lineman. I’m sure the coaching staff will assess which position suits him better. However, his size makes him look intriguing for the defensive end spot in the 3-4 alignment.
