Quarterback D’Eriq King and defensive back Devin Hafford have been waived by the New England Patriots amid a series of roster transactions announced Monday.
Both signed as part of the organization’s 2022 undrafted class at the start of May.
King, 24, had been tested out at multiple positions during New England’s rookie minicamp over the weekend. He played both quarterback and wide receiver during a six-year college run that began at Houston and ended at Miami. The 5-foot-11, 202-pounder served as a captain for both the Cougars and Hurricanes. His career spanned 8,378 yards and 76 touchdowns passing to go with 2,055 yards and 32 touchdowns rushing.
