COMMENTARY
Adding young talent is a priority in 2020 for a Patriots organization looking to build depth and rework an aging roster. After selecting 10 rookies in this year’s NFL Draft, the team also signed 15 undrafted free agents to its roster.
Undrafted free agents are often overlooked when considering a team’s roster-building process during an offseason. But for the Patriots, who operate like a meritocracy when it comes to deciding who makes the team, being a UDFA does not put you at a disadvantage before you even take the field. All that matters is how you produce once you’re on it.
