New England Patriots Sign Former Browns DE John Hughes, Who Could Turn Out To Be A Star

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure -the motto of the New England Patriots.

The Cleveland Browns drafted defensive end John Hughes in the third-round of the 2012 NFL draft out of the University of Cincinnati.

Hughes, 27, never really lived up to starting material, but rather was a very versatile defensive lineman who added the necessary depth. In 2015, Hughes recorded 1.5 sacks. In his entire NFL career, he has 5.5 total sacks.

The New England Patriots picked up Hughes after the Browns dumped him the other day.

He seems quite excited about joining the Patriots.
