I cover my favorite pro football team, The New England Patriots, using data analytics to highlight performance and development.

Looks like Jaguars waived former Arkansas RB Ja'Quinden Jackson. Big back (6'2" 230s) that is still new to the position (entered college as a QB). Some work with his pad level and he could be a solid short-yardage and goalline RB with a QB background for the #Patriots.

@MikeReiss He was a beast when he played for University of Maine. Ridiculous amount of tackles per game.

[Pats Stats @ThePatsStats]

Seeing some clips from New England Patriots Rookie Minicamp... WR Kyle Dixon is a big dude.

[Pats Stats @ThePatsStats]

@MikeReiss Declan Williams is a menace. Should be a great ST guy.

[Pats Stats @ThePatsStats]

Possible NT prospect for the #Patriots

[Aaron Wilson @AaronWilson_NFL]

#Giants release Marlon Tuipulotu, per league source. Expected to draw from other #NFL teams

@MikeReiss Fullback

[Pats Stats @ThePatsStats]

@Shea_Fratterson I haven't been as bullish on a first round LB in a long time. Even more than Jack Campbell.

[Pats Stats @ThePatsStats]

Preliminary list of top 5 prospects at positions of need for the #Patriots in the 2026 NFL Draft.
-Koi Perich - S - Oregon
-Sammy Brown - LB- Clemson
-Will Heldt - DE/EDGE - Clemson
-Trey'Dez Green - TE - LSU
- Anthony Smith - DT - Minnesota

Note - 2027 NFL Draft

[Pats Stats @ThePatsStats]

@RealBGauvin23 @thaden_trace I was really impressed by him. Add 10-15lbs and he's going to be a name to watch in 10 months.

[Pats Stats @ThePatsStats]

I saw some posts that Incarnate Word LB Declan Williams was invited #Patriots rookie minicamp. He will make the practice squad, and don't be surprised he gets elevated. Should have been drafted.

[Pats Stats @ThePatsStats]

@Patriots @JamarionMiller1 @TreVeyonH4 Jam overstriding... all pull... crazy strong hamstrings to get that time with that form.

[Pats Stats @ThePatsStats]

I've seen some postings about Demarcus Lacey WR/RB from Marshall getting invited to the #Patriots 2026 rookie mini-camp. I had him on my WR sleeper list. Great space player that could develop into a gadget/ST player to develop on the practice squad. Maybe KR/PR specialist?

[Pats Stats @ThePatsStats]

My Current list of Wide Receiver WR sleepers in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Treyvhon Saunders - Colgate
Hank Beatty - Illinois
Kyre Duplessis - Delaware
Daniel Sobkowicz - Illinois St
Cortez Braham - Memphis
Michael Shulikov - Idaho State
JT Clark - UTSA
Damarcus Lacey - Marshall

@branden_ed They simply need the headcount for some positions. A returner is a non-negotiable though.

[Pats Stats @ThePatsStats]

The New England #Patriots have 5 Day 3 picks in the 2026 NFL Draft. I think they need to walk away with a RB, LB, S, and a NT. However, the biggest need is a legit kick return specialist. That might be a RB or WR or DB. Might need to burn some 2027 day 3 capital to get the guy.

[Pats Stats @ThePatsStats]

@jmeuse45 Those are great options.

[Pats Stats @ThePatsStats]

@DubsKnows I cant imagine him making it to the 5th. Got to make some moves.

[Pats Stats @ThePatsStats]

I'd argue that the #Patriots front office are having a better draft in 2026 vs. 2025 when you consider their draft position, and how weak the draft class is. Seems like they are making the right moves to grab one of their guys before the position dries up. Bravo!

[Pats Stats @ThePatsStats]

Patriots grabbing Illinois EDGE Gabe Jacas... another top ten tag guy for me. Here is my analysis from a few months ago.

I wouldn't be surprised if the #Patriots go with Arkansas RB Mike Washington Jr. at 63. Big, Fast, Vicious... Upstate NY kid.
