Eric Rowe's fit in Patriots' corner corps likely to be dictated by matchups

A bonus mailbag question on the long weekend, building off the weekly Saturday feature in which one question from Twitter is selected to expound upon based on a hot topic surrounding the New England Patriots:

Toby, this question on cornerback Eric Rowe comes after Thursday's organized team activity in which Stephon Gilmore and Malcolm Butler worked as the top cornerback tandem, with 2016 undrafted free-agent Jonathan Jones getting the majority of work as the third corner in the nickel package. Whether that continues to be the case going forward remains to be seen, but it provides a jumping-off point to talk about the club's overall cornerback personnel, such as Rowe.
