Reports: Patriots to Host Pat White, Brooks Foster on Visits

And the visits keep piling up. First, Christopher Gasper of the Globe reports that West Virginia quarterback / receiver / athlete Pat White will visit with the New England Patriots next Monday and Tuesday.
Clearly, this shows that the Patriots have a legitimate interest in the West Virginia great, having already held a private workout with him last month.
White could project as high as round two in this month’s draft, although I think his ultimate landing spot may be the third round. And the team he lands with could very well be the New England Patriots, from what I’ve seen so far.
According to Gasper’s colleague, Mike Reiss, the Patriots hosted North Carolina wide receiver Brooks Foster today. Often overshadowed by Hakeem Nicks and Brandon Tate, Brooks Foster was originally projected to be a high draft pick. However, a knee and a slow senior senior year have probably pushed him down to the fourth or fifth round of the draft. Foster is known for his ability to make the difficult catch, and is a decent vertical threat.
