News broke today that the New England Patriots have signed veteran safety Jordan Richards to join what has been a very impressive secondary up to this point in the season, per the team’s official website.
The Patriots defense has been suffocating their opponents in the team’s first four games of the season, and the secondary has been particularly exceptional. Devin McCourty has recorded an interception in every game this season, and J.C. Jackson is proving to be one of the top young cornerbacks in football… so the signing of Richards was a little unexpected to Patriots Nation.
