When the New England Patriots were trying to figure out who would end up populating the back end of their roster, few imagined that Dylan Cozens would’ve been on their shortlist.
In fact, he wasn’t even a football player when 2020 ended, as he was a former top prospect in the Philadelphia Phillies organization.
Cozens’ 6-6, 245-pound frame could’ve made him an ideal left-handed slugger that launches 35 home runs every year, but he never quite got into a groove with Philly.
