The New England Patriots added a layer of depth to the interior line as the new league year opened.
The organization agreed to terms with former Tampa Bay Buccaneers guard Nick Leverett on Wednesday, as first reported by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
Leverett, 27, entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2020. The product of North Carolina Central and Rice University spent the bulk of his rookie season on Tampa Bay’s practice squad after clearing waivers at the 53-man roster deadline. He went on to appear in 16 games while a member of the Super Bowl LV champions, including 10 starts in 2022.
