The New England Patriots signing a quarterback in undrafted free agency would seem like a puzzling move considering the team has its franchise QB in Mac Jones and also used a fourth-round pick on Jones' potential backup, Bailey Zappe.
But the Patriots signing a quarterback like D'Eriq King makes a lot more sense.
The University of Miami product began his college career at wide receiver, catching 58 passes for 492 yards over his first two seasons at Houston in 2016 and 2017. After transferring to Miami in 2020, King passed for 2,686 yards and 26 touchdowns as the Hurricanes' QB but also added 538 rushing yards and 16 receiving yards on a pair of catches.
