TE Devin Asiasi
That’s right: a rookie. We have high expectations for the 22-year-old and the 91st overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Typically, you wouldn’t expect a third-round pick to be a starter on Day 1. But that’s the position Asiasi is in. He looked pro-ready in his time with the UCLA Bruins as a blocker and a pass-catcher — even if he was only a one-year starter (44 catches, 641 yards, four touchdowns). But he’ll need to elevate his game quickly, because the Patriots need him to contribute as soon as Week 1.
