Patriots Free Agents: Why Underrated Daniel Ekuale Is Worth Re-Signing

The New England Patriots have more than 20 players set to hit free agency when the NFL league year opens March 15. As that date approaches, we’re taking a closer look at each one. Next up: defensive lineman Daniel Ekuale.

He didn’t generate a ton of headlines this season, but Daniel Ekuale was one of the more underrated players on the New England Patriots defense.

The veteran defensive tackle excelled in his limited sub-rusher role, racking up three sacks (tied for fourth on team), 22 total quarterback pressures (fifth) and eight tackles, per Pro Football Focus.
