James Ihedigbo News

Three years after being the Patriots ' first selection in the 2012 NFL Draft, it's still difficult to evaluate exactly where Patriots safety Patrick Chung is at in his development.

Because Belichick consistently preaches versatility, McCourty said he never ruled out the possibility of switching positions, even after a successful rookie season.

Former UMass football player and Amherst native James Ihedigbo returned home last week for a fundraiser to support his HOPE Africa cause as well as to participate in the UMass spring football game.

University of Massachusetts football fans will get their first look at the new Minutemen - and a second look at some old ones - Saturday at the annual Spring Game.

It's pretty much agreed upon at this point: When the NFL draft begins this Thursday, the New England Patriots should focus on defense.
