Patriots Add Toughness, Talent in Free Agency

Here's more NFL news for March 18th.

The New England Patriots kicked off free agency by focusing on physicality up front, signing

full-back Regigilium to a three-year.

$12 million deal.

They also added offensive guard Alicia Vera Tucker and tied in Julian Hill, a 25-year-old

blocker from Miami, to build toughness in the trenches.

These moves aim to boost the run game, which ranked 24th in efficiency last season and

force the team into unusual six-man lineups laid-in.

The year.

Players like Gillium and Hill bring a tenacious, violent style they say is ingrained in them

from coaching and upbringing.

Gillium thrives as a physical full-back, while Hill steps in next to Hunter Henry as

a top-inline blocker who loves the gritty work.

The Patriots see untapped potential in Hill as a pass-catcher, too, but his main job is

pan-kicking defenders to protect quarterback Drake May and open.

Executive Vice President Elliott Wolfe called these signings intentional to add identity

and toughness under coach Ravel, setting up a more balanced, offense heading into next

season.
