Patriots' Draft Steal Sends Bold Message on Disrespect

The New England Patriots were able to land Florida State defensive tackle Joshua Farmer in the fourth round of the NFL Draft, perhaps bagging one of the biggest steals of the class.

A bunch of interior defensive linemen flew off the board before Farmer, and not surprisingly, the Seminoles star is not taking too kindly to being disrespected.

Among his first comments as a new member of the Patriots, Farmer sent a strong message to everyone who doubted him in the draft.

“I think I was the 17th defensive tackle taken,” Farmer said.
