The New England Patriots added fullback Henry Poggi to the roster, per NESN’s Doug Kyed. Poggi is a 6’2, 245 pound fullback out of the University of Michigan where he played just 14 games over four seasons. He’s a converted defensive end, just like the Patriots current fullback James Develin.
Poggi signed with the Oakland Raiders after the draft, but was released in June. His scouting report calls him a good blocker, but not much else. He seems to be a camp body and possible placeholder as the Patriots work through injuries at wide receiver, but he’ll get a chance to prove his value.
