Patriots Sign Two From Navy
Mike reiss reports that the Patriots have signed a pair of navy players: fullback Eric Kettani and wide receiver Tyree Barnes.
Eric Kettani reminds me of Kyle Eckel, as he will be a hybrid halfback/fullback. I’m not sure he will be our starting fullback, but I wouldn’t rule it out. He can really run, but is effective as a quick lead blocker, and has decent hands as well.
Barnes was never a go-to option because of the option offense at Navy. Nevertheless, he put up some nice numbers for a receiver in that system, and he has some good size and decent speed.
Update: These deals have been denied by the agent for both players. Patriots are not ruled out from signing these players, but they haven’t, as of yet.
