Patriots rookie Zach Sudfeld has caught on so quickly to what the team is looking for that he could end up being a regular player for them.
Because his blocking has improved and his skills as a receiver, particularly in the red zone, are effective, Sudfeld might dominate reps, per the Boston Herald. That could even be the case once Rob Gronkowski comes back from his surgeries.
Here's the skinny on Sudfeld: He's a 6-foot-7, 250-pound matchup nightmare who was a solid all-around athlete at Nevada but missed nearly two full seasons because of injuries. In fact, according to NFLDraftScout.com/CBSSports.com's Dane Brugler, Sudfeld had six surgeries in his first five years at school (he was there six years) including work on his shoulder, leg, knee and wrist.
