Patriots Sign CB Justin Coleman

Justin Coleman was a CB prospect who I kept my eye on after the combine. The Patriots brought in Coleman for a pre-draft visit, but instead ended up drafting Marshall's Darryl Roberts in the 7th round of the draft. Coleman played in the SEC, but for a mediocre Tennessee team. Coleman ended up not getting drafted at all and signed with the Minnesota Vikings, who released him on Sunday as part of their roster cut to 75 players. Instead of claiming him, the Patriots decided to sign him today as part of their roster moves to get down to 53.
