The New England Patriots signed defensive end Chris McCarroll on Tuesday afternoon, per KPRC 2’s Aaron Wilson.
McCarroll brings an impressive resume to New England. He was an All-American and Defensive Lineman of the Year award winner at Grand Valley State University. McCarroll had 151 career tackles, 15 sacks and three fumble recoveries during his collegiate career.
The Patriots are continuing their search for depth on the defensive side of the ball. A talented player like McCarroll could provide a pass-rushing presence for the team after they traded four-time Pro Bowler Matthew Judon last week.
