Those that want the Patriots to focus on cornerbacks in the 2022 NFL Draft got some welcome news this week.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport tweeted Wednesday New England will reportedly host Clemson’s Andrew Booth Jr. for a Top-30 visit on Friday, signaling the cornerback could be on their first-round radar at the end of the month. (Each team gets 30 in-house visits to spend on top prospects.)
A frequent Patriots target in mock drafts, Booth’s film reveals an aggressive yet intelligent corner who can play both man and zone well, provides excellent support as a tackler, and is a player college quarterbacks frequently stayed away from in coverage despite his relative lack in starting experience.
