FOXBORO, Mass. — New England Patriots top 2020 NFL Draft pick Kyle Dugger is making the transition from Division II Lenoir-Rhyne to the NFL look easy.
The second-round pick registered an interception and broke up three passes during team drills Wednesday as he battles veteran safeties Adrian Phillips and Terrence Brooks for a starting spot in the Patriots’ defense in Patrick Chung’s old role.
Dugger is making his way up the pecking order.
There was a five-play stretch during Patriots 7-on-7 drills when Dugger got his hands on the ball three times, picking off Cam Newton and breaking up passes from Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer.
