QB D’Eriq King reportedly the first undrafted free agent signed by the Patriots

The Patriots added one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in college football last season as one of their undrafted free agents.

Miami quarterback D’Eriq King was the first player New England signed after the 2022 NFL Draft, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported. However, King is expanding his horizons as a player entering the NFL. During the draft process, King shared he was open to playing running back and receiver in addition to quarterback.

“The more you could do, the more valuable you are. So if I can be one guy on a roster that can be backup quarterback, receiver, special teams, whatever I can do,” King said after Miami’s Pro Day.
