Patriots signed Arkansas LB Brooks Ellis.
Ellis (6’2/240) made 41 starts at Arkansas, amassing 22.5 TFLs, two forced fumbles and four interceptions. He graduated as the first ever two-time first team Academic All-American in Arkansas history. A good college player who draws pluses for smarts and reliability, Ellis’ athleticism is sub-NFL caliber with 4.79 speed. He played special teams in three of his four college seasons and could have a future there.
