The New England Patriots have repeatedly checked in on Clemson receiver Amari Rodgers, most recently with a virtual interview, he told The Boston Globe. Rodgers said he met with Patriots receivers coach Mick Lombardi.
“I had a FaceTime interview with him,” Rodgers told The Globe. “It went great, he’s a great guy.”
The Patriots-Rodgers connection started at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama. It’s a pre-draft camp for the top college prospects. Every NFL team attends in an attempt to see and speak with as many prospects as they can. That’s when Rodgers spoke with a Patriots scout.
