Patriots signed Missouri DT Josh Augusta.
Augusta (6’4/347) was a massive rotational player on Mizzou’s defensive line, piling up 20 career tackles for loss, four sacks, and two forced fumbles while doubling as a short-yardage lead blocker on offense. Augusta never emerged as a full-time starter due to weight problems, gaining 100 pounds over the course of his career. While Augusta had some positive pass-rush moments in the SEC, he projects as an early-down space eater only. Weighing in at nearly 370 when last season ended, Augusta will have to get his conditioning in order to carve out a meaningful career.
