4 things to know about Patriots rookie tight end Dalton Keene

Fans should know these things about Dalton Keene.

Keene has football in his blood.

This draft is full of family connections in the sport. For Keene, it’s no different. The tight end’s father, Wesley Keene, played on the defensive line at Murray State. Interestingly enough, his father’s linebacker coach was Dalton’s defensive coordinator at Virginia tech.

On top of that, Dalton’s brother, Trey, played both football and baseball for Northern Colorado. So, the athlete was clearly inside of Keene from birth.
