FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Unheralded rookie free agent Gunner Olszewski was told he didn't make the New England Patriots' initial 53-man roster on Saturday, only to be called back later in the day with the surprising news that he had earned a spot.
"It was a roller-coaster. That's the best way to describe it," Olszewski said Sunday after his first practice as a member of the defending Super Bowl champions. "For one second you think, 'I don't know what's going on.' The next second, 'I'm a Patriot.' At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter how it happened.
