Patriots Gave Out One Of Richest Deals’ To Land This Undrafted Rookie
Lan Larison should have a legitimate chance to crack the Patriots roster.
The UC Davis running back received $175,000 in guaranteed money as an undrafted free agent from New England, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss. It represents “one of the richest deals” the Patriots offered to an UDFA, per Reiss.
“That reflects how the Patriots likely had competition from other teams to land Larison,” Reiss wrote Sunday.
