Versatility is nothing new for New England Patriots third-round draft pick Marte Mapu. Since his Pop Warner days, he has seemingly played everywhere and anywhere on the football field.
“I feel like I’ve played everywhere,” Mapu said Monday recalling his old football days. “I had my hand in the dirt and everything. I think I’ve played everything.”
Since arriving in New England, Mapu’s versatility has been on full display throughout a handful of OTA and minicamp practices. After beginning the offseason at linebacker, the 6-foot-3, 217-pound Mapu has since seen the been roaming the New England secondary back at safety.
