The New England Patriots are looking into possibly adding to their linebacker corps. As was announced by the XFL on Friday, the team invited one of its players — Carson Wells — on a tryout basis.
The tryout took place on Thursday, according to a report by Doug Kyed of A to Z Sports.
Wells, 24, played college football at the University of Colorado. Primarily playing on the edge for the Buffaloes, the 6-foot-3, 241-pound defender appeared in 41 total games for the school. He registered 17.5 sacks and 154 tackles, one forced fumble, and also intercepted three passes — including one returned for a touchdown.
