Patriots rookie Malik Cunningham thrived in his professional debut on Thursday night against the Texans.
Cunningham, an undrafted free agent out of Louisville, starred at quarterback in the ACC and latched on with the Patriots to begin his NFL career. The early returns on Cunningham in the 20–9 loss were promising.
Cunningham has been working as both a quarterback and wide receiver in camp as New England has looked to utilize his dynamic skill set. Cunningham did not record a catch as a receiver on Thursday, but did have some good moments at quarterback.
