The New England Patriots announced they have signed three tryout players following rookie minicamp.
Out of the 14 invites, the Patriots signed Arkansas State guard Mehki Butler, Virginia Tech defensive tackle Wilfried Pene and former Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Isaiah Iton.
Butler, a former NJCCA first-team All-American out of Iowa Western Community College, started in 38 games at left tackle at Arkansas State. The Patriots spent plenty of resources aimed at improving in the trenches, and they could be eyeing Butler as a potential depth piece at tackle.
Iton spent the 2024 season on the Titans' practice squad.
