Rookies making their way to Foxboro, two players released

With the excitement of the draft dwindling behind us, the New England Patriots are looking forward to their new rookie talent to arrive in Foxboro, Massachusetts.

Today, first round draft pick Linebacker Jerod Mayo will be introduced by Robert and Jonathan Kraft to the fans and media.

The drafted and undrafted rookies will go through a two day mini-camp beginning on Friday and we will have updates from Bill Belichick.

Who will attend the rookie training?

According to NEPatriotsDraft.com the following players are undrafted free agents picked up by the Pats:

LB Vince Redd (Liberty), Mike Dragosavich (NDSU) - signed by the team, DE Chris Norwell (Illinois), TE Jon Stupar (Virginia), C Ryan Wendell - Fresno St.), OT Josh Coffman (ECU) - 2 years/$0 Bonus, DL Casey Tyler (Portland St.) - 1 year/$0 Bonus, DL Carlos Feliciano (Maryland), LB Gary Guyton (Georgia Tech), RB Benjarvus Green-Ellis (Ole Miss), LB Keith Saunders (Alabama), SS Mark Dillard (La Tech) and both RB Kenny Cattouse (Troy) and TE Tyson DeVree (Colorado) on a tryout basis.

After the draft the Patriots reviewed their personnel and have released veteran linebacker TJ Slaughter and former practice squad member defensive back Tim Mixon.

Still no word or updates on Junior Seau or Ty Law to return to the team.

It should be in interesting weekend to see how the rookies adjust and to see if there are any other roster moves.

IN BILL WE TRUST!!
