As I think about the upcoming year (hopefully it happens), I think about the Pats getting younger and much more explosive and athletic on both sides of the ball. To that end, here's some players I hope make the roster and make contributions...
- RB JJ Taylor - For a small guy, he hits like a truck and has terrific explosion. Would love to see him be a Sproles-like playmaker.
- WR Jeff Thomas - Absolutely electric athletes. Can be a huge playmaker out of the slot but isn't limited to that role. Needs to clear up some character issues but he'd give them elite athleticism and playmaking at the WR position.
- WR Sean Riley - I'm a Syracuse guy and I love this kid. Terrific athlete, quick and fast.
- DE Nick Coe - Terrific athlete for his position. Character issues again are the concern, but in terms of being an athlete....he'd be a nice upgrade.
- LB Josh Uche - Pretty sure he's gonna make the team, but man he's an electric athlete at his position. Speed, strength, explosion.
- S Kyle Dugger - Off the charts athlete for his spot. Size and speed galore. Limited experience of course, playing for a tiny program. But still....potential for a lot here.
