Patriots reportedly signed five draft picks to NFL deals
The Patriots reportedly signed five of their 2026 NFL Draft picks to deals on Friday.
The New England Patriots have reportedly signed five of their rookie draft picks to NFL deals, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter on Friday . With the rookies arriving for minicamp, it is the perfect opportunity for the Patriots to put the finishing touches on their first-year contracts. Running back Jam Miller, cornerback Karon Prunty, offensive tackle Dametrious Crownover, quarterback Behren Morton and linebacker Namdi Obiazor have all signed their rookie contracts, per Schefter.
Miller will have a chance to help fill the offensive backfield as the No. 3 running back option behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson. Obiazor adds depth at linebacker and is another possible special teams contributor, while Crownover should be a strong boost to the flailing offensive line depth.
Prunty could serve as a backup boundary corner, and Morton will be the project No. 3 quarterback option behind Drake Maye and Tommy DeVito. Through the work in free agency and the 2026 NFL Draft, the Patriots have the deepest roster they've had in years.
