Patriots third-rounder Marte Mapu reportedly signs rookie contract, leaving two picks to go

Three draft selections remained unsigned for the New England Patriots. Two are left now.

Marte Mapu has agreed to terms on his four-year rookie contract with the organization, as Generation Sports Group agents Matt Glose and Bryan Ehrlich confirmed to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport on Friday.

The linebacker and safety out of Sacramento State landed in the third round at No. 76 overall in the 2023 NFL draft. He did so after starting 27 of his 41 appearances, finishing as the Big Sky Defensive Player of the Year and as a first-team Associated Press FCS All-American.
