Patriots' Tanner Arkin: Signs with Patriots
Rotowire
Arkin signed with the Patriots as an undrafted free agent Friday.
Arkin's best college season was his fifth year at Illinois, when he caught 13 passes for 114 yards and two touchdowns across 13 games. He'll have a difficult time securing a spot on the 53-man roster, as the Patriots currently are carrying five tight ends, including Hunter Henry, Julian Hill and rookie third-round pick Eli Raridon.
