V - Official Pre-Draft visit; visited team facilities/hosted by team in area
PW - Private workout held with prospect
AW - Attended open workout on Campus
C - Position Coach or Coordinator contact
MC - Team has spoken to player or agent or had on-Campus visit; miscellaneous contact
APD - Team official has attended Pro-Day
I - Interviewed at Combine/All-Star game
RI - Rumoured interest
NB: All players in larger font, and Bold, Italic and Underline, have met the "Three Contact Rule". To meet the TCR, a prospect must have three confirmed contacts (RI does not count). The TCR implies that the Patriots are very very interested in them, and there's a very good chance we'll draft them. Don't take it for granted though.

Some thoughts on the numbers.
Firstly - well down on last year at this point. Remember though, we're listed interest that's been reported. To go all Donald Rumsfeld for a moment - we're listing the known knowns, we know there are known unknowns, and unknown knowns, as for the unknown unknowns - they'll just have to wait for now.
Last year we listed 178 players, and managed to (somehow) hear about 34 visits. With 2 more unreported. The limit is only 30!
