FOXBORO — Deatrich Wise seems to have high standards for himself.
The rookie defensive end, who was drafted in the fourth round by the Patriots last month, has only been in New England for a few short weeks, but he can already see himself cut from the same mold as Chandler Jones and Jamie Collins, a pair of former Patriots standouts.
Wise said no one in the Patriots organization has compared him to anyone just yet, but that hasn't stopped him from comparing himself to the best.
