The New England Patriots signed rookie wide receiver Aaron Dobson on Thursday afternoon, which now means their 2013 rookie class is all under contract.
The 22-year-old Dobson was drafted by New England 59th overall out of Marshall University. While the financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, it is a four-year contract.
While Dobson has been limited in portions of New England's Organized Team Activities and minicamp, he has flashed in other drills, making tough catches over defenders. With all rookies now under contract, the Patriots have at least one bright spot in a wild off-season.
