Mississippi State quarterback K.J. Costello has met with the New England Patriots, among other teams, during the pre-draft process, according to LSU Tigers Wire’s Crissy Froyd.
Costello, who told Tigers Wire he suffered from an overly-pass-happy system that was forcing him to throw into disadvantageous situations, finished his 2020 season with a 64.1 completion percentage, 1,283 passing yards, six touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He had six appearances after transferring from Stanford.
His best performance came against LSU. He completed 60% of his passes for 623 yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions. That’s the performance that has put him on NFL radar, along with his 2018 season at Stanford, when he put up a 65.
