A little more than a year ago, on August 28, 2014, the New England Patriots played their fourth and final preseason game in New Jersey's MetLife Stadium against the New York Giants. The two franchises facing off in the final week of the preseason has become a little of an annual tradition – just like both teams resting those players, whose spot on the 53-man roster is safe.
22-year old rookie linebacker James Morris wasn't one of those players, even though he has had a strong training camp and preseason and looked like a prime candidate to join fellow undrafted rookie defender Malcolm Butler on the Patriots' active roster.
