Undersized DT Named As Patriots UDFA To Watch Ahead Of Camp
The New England Patriots are looking to build on their surprising Super Bowl run last season. NFL analyst Gary Davenport highlighted undrafted free agent David Blay Jr. as a player to watch during training camp. Blay, a defensive tackle from the Miami Hurricanes, has the potential to make an impact if he can add some weight to his undersized frame.
- ▪David Blay Jr. played for the Miami Hurricanes and started in a national championship game.
- ▪He recorded 6.5 sacks at Louisiana Tech in 2024, which is typically enough to get drafted.
- ▪Blay is considered undersized for an NFL defensive tackle, weighing less than 300 pounds.
