Patriots Announce Signing of 12 UDFA's and Other Moves

by Greg Knopping on Jul 28, 2011 1:17 PM EDT in New England Patriots News

I'm a little late on this one, but thought I would pass it along anyways. The Patriots have officially announced that they have signed 12 rookie free agents. Among them are the ten we reported earlier in the week.

Mike Berry, OL, Auburn

Ryan Coulson, DE/OLB/LS, Nevada

Kyle Hix, OT, Texas

Aaron Lavarias, DE/LB, Idaho

Anthony Leonard, ILB, West Virginia

Chris Koepplin, K, Massachusetts

Clay Nurse, DE/OLB, Illinois

Jeremy Ross, WR/KR, California

Alex Silvestro, DE/OLB, Rutgers

Jeff Tarpinian, LB, Iowa

Corey Woods, OL, Akron

Will Yeatman, TE/T, Maryland

As you probably noticed, two of those undrafted free agents, pass rusher Aaron Lavarias and kicker Chris Koepplin were two undrafted free agents who we hadn't reported.

In addition to announcing the signing of the rookie free agents, the Patriots also announced that the team had activated fullback Eric Kettani and wide receiver Tyree Barnes off the reserve/military list.

Lastly, the team announced the signing of rookie draft picks Markell Carter and Lee Smith, the tight end out of Marshall.

I saw Will Yeatman at Camp this morning

number 88 – He’s built like an O-lineman. I’m guessing he’s projected to be a blocking TE???

Keep the faith!

Yes, and a potential T project

Some coaches said if he'd changed to OT in his first year of college, he'd have been a first-round draft pick now.
