Trio of former Patriots selected on Day 1 of USFL draft

The United States Football League’s 2022 draft got underway Tuesday night, and a trio former New England Patriots got the call.

In the position-based snake format, quarterbacks bookended the initial 12-round selection process. Defensive ends, offensive tackles and cornerbacks came off the board in between.

By the end of Wednesday — with wide receivers, safeties, centers, inside linebackers, guards, defensive tackles, running backs, fullbacks, outside linebackers, kickers, punters, tight ends and long snappers to follow in order — all eight teams will have filled out cards for 35 of their 38 spots on active rosters.
