The New England Patriots reportedly hosted five Canadian Football League players for free-agent workouts on Tuesday.
Quarterback Tre Ford, defensive backs Tyrell Ford and Rodney Randle, and wide receivers Kurleigh Gittens and Kian Schaffer-Baker showcased their talents for the Patriots, according to ESPN's Mike Reiss. With only one week left in the regular season, the team likely is doing its due diligence for the 2023 season.
Tre Ford, 24, was selected eighth overall by the Edmonton Elks in the 2022 CFL Draft. He ran a 4.45 40-yard dash -- the best mark of any 2022 NFL Draft-eligible QB -- at last year's University of Buffalo pro day.
