Undrafted in 2015 to under contract through 2019: Brandon King becoming an unlikely Patriots fixture

The New England Patriots announced the signings of seven undrafted free agents on May 8, 2015.

Michigan quarterback-turned-wideout Devin Gardner was among them. California receiver Chris Harper, Georgia center David Andrews, Vanderbilt defensive tackle Vince Taylor, Ball State cornerback Eric Patterson and Alabama-Birmingham DB Jimmy Jean all were, too.

But the list also featured an Auburn transfer by the name of Brandon King.

And like only Andrews – now a 41-game starter and team captain – New England’s roster still does feature him.

The Patriots re-signed King to a two-year pact through 2019 on Thursday morning, as ESPN’s Field Yates first reported.
