Round 7 – DeeJay Dallas, Miami

Dallas did a little bit of everything with the Hurricanes. In his three seasons, he totaled 1,527 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground and added 28 receptions for 140 yards and two touchdowns through the air. On top of his offensive duties, he also served as both a punt and kick returner at points.

With New England, Dallas could play the role of “athlete.” Put him on the field anywhere and he will be able to compete. He could come out of the slot or in the backfield. Most importantly for the Patriots, he can play special teams. If Dallas can work his way onto the roster as a returner, he may be able to find some work on offense in some interesting packages. And, since he’s fairly new to the running back position, there may be untapped potential that could just be waiting for the right coaching.
