The New England Patriots’ 2023 undrafted class has reduced to three.
The organization announced the waiving of rookie defensive tackle Justus Tavai on Friday, ending a stint that began midway through May following a minicamp tryout.
Tavai, 24, closed out his collegiate career at San Diego State, totaling 34 tackles, 3.5 sacks and one interception across 11 games last fall. The 6-foot-3, 290-pound brother of veteran Patriots linebacker Jahlani Tavai spent the previous four Mountain West campaigns at the University of Hawaii. He initially began at El Camino College in 2017.
