Patriots waive undrafted Rhode Island receiver Ed Lee

The New England Patriots will move further into training camp without a local product.

The organization officially waived former University of Rhode Island wide receiver Ed Lee on Wednesday, opening a spot on the 90-man roster, as first reported by WPRI 12’s Sam Knox.

Lee, 24, had signed as an undrafted free agent in June after participating in rookie minicamp on a tryout basis in May. The 5-foot-10, 185-pound redshirt senior finished his Rams career with 86 receptions for 1,263 yards and eight touchdowns.

Second-team All-CAA honors were earned out wide during Lee’s final collegiate season, which saw him lead the conference with 908 receiving yards and start all 11 games.
