Patriots Expected To Sign Former Clemson Tight End

Fomer Clemson tight end Jordan Leggett is expected to sign with the New England Patriots according to a report from Ian Rappaport. The deal is pending a physical and COVID-19 testing.

The #Patriots are hosting FAs TE Jordan Leggett and DT Darius Kilgo, and if all goes well with COVID-19 testing and physicals, they plan to sign both, sources say. Leggett is a former #Jets fifth-rounder and Kilgo is a former 2016 #Broncos sixth rounder who has spent time in NE.

Leggett was originally a fifth round pick of the New York Jets in 2017. He spent last season with Tampa Bay, but was waived after the Bucs signed Rob Gronkowski. Now he will move on to the Patriots and try to help fill the former role of Gronkowsi.
