Report: Patriots make Texas TE Andrew Beck highest paid UDFA

After the Patriots opted to not select a potential Rob Gronkowski replacement in the 2019 NFL Draft, it appears they have made a noteworthy investment in an undrafted tight end.

According to Ben Volin, former University of Texas tight end Andrew Beck has the highest guaranteed salary of all the Patriots' undrafted free agents with $115,000, while the next highest guarantees are safety Malik Grant and linebacker Terez Hall at $85,000.

Beck missed all of 2017 with a foot injury, but returned in 2018 to catch 28 passes for 281 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games for the Longhorns, earning himself a First-Team All-Big 12 selection.
