Patriots selected NW Missouri State DL Sam Roberts with the No. 200 pick of the 2022 NFL Draft.
Roberts ran a 5.10 40-yard dash at his Pro Day, with 33 1/2-inch arms and did 25 reps on the bench press. Dane Brugler notes that “he fires out of his stance with urgent power to fit in a rotation as a penetrating three-technique.” He figures to take a redshirt year with the Patriots as they’re decently stocked in the interior. His six blocked kicks in college could be a reason he got drafted, as the Pats are always looking for a special teams edge.
