NFL free agency 2023: Patriots reportedly set to host pair of defenders, wide receiver on visits

As the NFL’s new league year kicked off at 4 p.m. ET Wednesday, teams can now officially meet with free agents. The New England Patriots are wasting little time doing so as they are reportedly set to host safety Taylor Rapp, linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel, and wide receiver Olabisi Johnson for visits.

Rapp, 26, was a staple in the Los Angeles Rams secondary throughout his rookie contract aligning in numerous spots along the backend. After being used more as a box safety in the early stages of his career, Rapp recorded over 1,000 snaps in a free safety role over the past two seasons — making him a potential part of replacing Devin McCourty.
