Patriots met with Cincinnati speedster as pre-draft visits wrap up

The New England Patriots reportedly met with Cincinnati Bearcats wide receiver and kick returner Tre Tucker, according to KPRC 2’s Aaron Wilson.

Tucker had 52 catches for 672 yards in 2022, and one of the hallmarks of his game is speed. He is on the smaller side at 5-foot-9, 197 pounds, but his shiftiness could be a huge asset on the football field.

Tucker, who is viewed as a Day 3 pick, could be a gem of a draft pick, as that speed certainly is enticing. His versatility as a kick returner and receiver could come in handy for the team as well. Coach Bill Belichick loves players that can compete in multiple areas, and Tucker seems like a prototypical Patriots player through and through.

Although all eyes are on New England’s 14th overall selection, what they do on Days 2 and 3 will hold importance as well. Landing speed players such as Tucker would help the team keep pace with the other explosive offenses in the NFL.
