The New England Patriots will be taking a close look at a trio of Arizona State defenders this week. According to reports by NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo and Pro Football Focus’ Doug Kyed, the team is set to hold pre-draft meetings with cornerbacks Chase Lucas and Jack Jones as well as linebacker Darien Butler.
The meetings are expected to take place in Arizona. This means that they will not qualify as top-30 visits — one of which was already held with Jones last week. Now he and two of his teammates will essentially speak to the Patriots’ representatives on their home turf.
