Over the weekend, the New England Patriots hosted two players for free agent visits.
New England brought in former New York Jets tight end Jordan Leggett in for a visit. Drafted in 2017, he has 14 total catches for 114 yards and a touchdown. His college career was much more fruitful to this point, as he caught 86 passes for 1,261 yards and 15 touchdowns at Clemson.
Measuring in at six-foot-five, 258 pounds, he has also played for the New York Jets. He was cut after his second season with the Jets. He also made a pit stop with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season, but he did not play.
In addition to Leggett, New England also had defensive tackle Darius Kligo in for a visit. He was on the New England practice squad in 2016 and played with the team in the 2017 preseason. Last season, he spent time with the Detroit Lions, but spent his time on injured reserve.
With these visits, it’s become clear that New England wants to add depth to both positions. It will be interesting to see who they fill those spots with, as they look to fine-tune their roster before the beginning of the season.
