INDIANAPOLIS — The Patriots this week showed interest in one of the top receivers available in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Ohio State wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba on Friday said he’d met with New England at the NFL Scouting Combine. He’s considered a potential Patriots target — Mel Kiper has him going to Foxboro in his latest mock draft — and might be available when New England picks at 14th overall.
“It went good, it went good,” Smith-Njigba said of the meeting.
He also praised both Bill Belichick and quarterback Mac Jones.
“Coach Belichick, he’s, you know what type of franchise program they have over there,” Smith-Njigba said.
