FAYETTEVILLE -- The University of Arkansas' football pipeline to New England kept flowing Saturday as the Patriots selected ex-Razorback offensive lineman Hjalte Froholdt in the fourth round of the NFL Draft.
Froholdt, a native of Svendborg, Denmark, became the sixth Razorback drafted by the Patriots in the past nine years, joining Ryan Mallett, Jake Bequette, Trey Flowers, A.J. Derby and Deatrich Wise. Former Arkansas Coach Bret Bielema was hired as a consultant to New England head Coach Bill Belichick in July.
