Brian Lewerke didn’t get drafted, but the former Michigan State quarterback might have landed in just the right spot.
Getting selected in the NFL’s seven-round draft was coin flip for the Spartans’ career leader in total yards, and when Lewerke’s name wasn’t called, the expectation was he would land a free-agent deal. Two days after the draft, that deal came as Lewerke signed with the New England Patriots.
“I'm not disappointed that he's a free agent and didn't get drafted,” said Mike Giovando, an Arizona-based quarterback coach who has worked with Lewerke for the bulk of his career.
