The New England Patriots officially announced the signings of 16 undrafted rookie free agents on Friday. They also revealed the jersey number for every player.
That news came on Day 1 of rookie minicamp, which is a weekend-long orientation for first-year players transitioning to the NFL.
It'll be a long summer for the Patriots' coaching staff when deciding on who stays and who goes. They had a massive draft class with 11 players taken off the board. Couple that with the 16 undrafted rookies and 14 tryout players and it's clear that tough decisions will have to be made.
