Mike Gesicki has always admired the New England Patriots, even as an opponent. He was particularly impressed by New England’s defense as a member of the Miami Dolphins.
The tight end tallied 32 catches for 362 yards and five touchdowns last season with Miami. He scored a touchdown against New England’s defense last season, when the teams met on January 1. He had two catches for 18 yards and a score on the day.
Now, he is joining a New England squad that ranked eighth in the league in yards allowed per game.
