The New England Patriots on Monday announced they signed four rookie free agents after the conclusion of rookie minicamp and released veteran running back Ke’Shawn Vaughn.
The Patriots signed running back Terrell Jennings, offensive guard Ryan Johnson, linebacker Jay Person and defensive end Jotham Russell to their roster. All four players were at rookie minicamp on Friday and Saturday.
The Patriots will receive a roster exemption for Russell, an Australian rugby player converting to defensive end, through the International Pathway Program.
Jennings played 44 games at Florida A&M and finished with 281 rushing attempts for 1,860 yards and 24 touchdowns.
