The New England Patriots have signed defensive back Lenzy Pipkins, the team announced on Tuesday. The 26-year-old cornerback has played for four NFL teams: the Green Bay Packers, Indianapolis Colts, Detroit Lions and, most recently, the Cleveland Browns.
Pipkins went undrafted in 2017 after playing college at Oklahoma State. In his rookie season with the Packers, he played in 12 games with one start while logging 17 tackles and a pass breakup. He was on and off the Colts practice squad and 53-man roster in 2018 before bouncing from the Detroit Lions to the Cleveland Browns to finish that season. He was not on an NFL roster for the 2019 regular season after spending training camp in Cleveland.
He joins a deep group of cornerbacks, including Stephon Gilmore, Jason McCourty, J.C. Jackson, Joejuan Williams and Jonathan Jones, among others.
