The Patriots added some depth at wide receiver this week by signing WR Leonard Hankerson off of waivers from the Atlanta Falcons.

Hankerson was originally drafted by the Washington Redskins in 2011 draft with the 79th pick in the 3rd round out of the University of Miami. Hankerson played four years with the Skins before signing a deal with the Falcons this spring.

Hankerson has 107 receptions in 39 career games for 1408 yards for a 12.6-yard average and nine touchdowns. In eight games for the Falcons he caught 26 passes for 327 yards and three touchdowns.
