With rookie minicamp now in the books, the New England Patriots are adding some competitive depth to their trenches.
The Pats, per multiple reports, have agreed to sign defensive lineman Isaiah Iton and offensive lineman Mehki Butler to their 90-man roster. Both Iton and Butler had been invited for a tryout with the club during the sessions which took place from May 9-11 at Gillette Stadium.
Following brief stops at both Northern Colorado and Hutchinson Community College, Iton joined Ole Miss in 2020. He played as a rotational defensive lineman for his sophomore and junior seasons, making 24 total tackles and three tackles for loss.
