The New England Patriots are bringing in a lacrosse player to try out at rookie camp this weekend at Gillette Stadium.
Former Virginia lacrosse player Dox Aitken will hit the field with New England's rookies, according to Doug Kyed of A to Z Sports. Aitken, who is 6'2", 210 pounds, also had a stint playing wide receiver at Villanova in 2021.
Aitken plays for Atlas Lacrosse Club in the Premier Lacrosse League. He made the Inside Lacrosse first-team All-American while playing at Virginia.
The Patriots are no stranger to bringing in lacrosse standouts. Former Penn State lacrosse star Chris Hogan played for Bill Belichick's squad from 2016 to 2018.
