The Patriots drafted Morton in the seventh round, 234th overall. The 6-foot-2, 221-pound rookie out of Texas Tech is expected to begin his career as New England's third-string QB behind Drake Maye and Tommy DeVito. Morton, who will turn 25 in January, posted a tidy 49:14 TD:INT over his last two years at Texas Tech, but he doesn't stand out athletically, with average arm strength and 4.89 speed. He's unlikely to see the field in any capacity during his rookie regular season.
