Even though the signings have not yet been made official, the New England Patriots are expected to bring up to 10 undrafted rookies in via free agent deals. One of those players is Vanderbilt running back Ralph Webb, whose limited athleticism contributed to him going undrafted but who is still coming off a productive college career and brings plenty of experience as both a ball-carrier and a pass-catcher.
The Patriots obviously like his traits and made bringing the 23-year old running back onto the team a priority heading into free agency. A look at his contract shows just how highly regarded a player Webb is: According to the Houston Chronicle's Aaron Wilson, Webb received $70,000 in guaranteed money from the Patriots, split into a $20,000 bonus and a $50,000 base salary.
