Default Pats checking out RB Unga
Patriots will be at Unga workout - Extra Points - Boston.com

More or less doing our due diligence, but is this guy any good? And would he be realistic for us?

Personally, I don't want us to carry five running backs. However, if we do, this guy could be a better prospect than Green-Ellis.

Well, Unga isn't your typical supplimental draft player. Most, like Unga leave school for disciplinary reasons, but Unga's violation was having sex with his fiancee and he voluntarily turned himself into BYU. He may be the first player to prove he is more honorable than most NFL players by leaving his school for breaking their rules.

I don't think BB would waste the draft pick if he didn't think the kid was a definite improvement over BJGE and a kid who was likely to supplant 1 or more of the current trio.

Agreed. He might also just be gathering more data on him for future use.

Is this where someone chimes in and asks, "can he pass rush"?

First, I'm glad that the Pats are doing their homework. Two, I'm afraid that they aren't sure about the running back situation going into 2010. Three, if he checks out with the scouts and there is room on the roster, why not?

He had to leave school outright over sex. Same with his girlfriend. BYU is strict about their honor code, much stricter than most other religious schools.

Is he worth the projected third rounder that he would cost?
