The New England Patriots announced signing five of their nine draft picks to their respective rookie contracts on Friday. Apparently, however, those were not the only selections signed by the club that day.<\/p>\n

\"Five<\/p>\n

As first reported by salary cap expert Miguel Benzan and since confirmed by the club, two more Patriots draft picks also put pen to paper on Friday: tight end Eli Raridon and edge linebacker Quintayvious Hutchins.<\/p>\n

Raridon, 22, was selected with the 95th overall pick in the third round of last month\u2019s draft. Spending his four-year college career at Notre Dame, he saw action in 40 games with 18 starts \u2014 12 of which during his final season. In total, the 6-foot-6, 245-pounder caught 48 passes for 623 yards and three touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Hutchins, 23, was the final pick by the Patriots this year; the Boston College product heard his name called 247th overall in the seventh round. Hutchins spent his entire five-year college career at BC and appeared in 43 games with 16 starts. The 6-foot-3, 245-pounder registered 5.5 sacks and a pair of interceptions as an Eagle, and was voted a team captain in 2025.<\/p>\n

Raridon and Hutchins are joining cornerback Karon Prunty, offensive tackle Dametrious Crownover, linebacker Namdi Obiazor, quarterback Behren Morton and running back Jam Miller as signed draft picks. That leaves only first-round pick Caleb Lomu and second-rounder Gabe Jacas as left to be accounted for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
