The New England Patriots were clearly impressed by four players during rookie minicamp at Gillette Stadium this past weekend. 

The team announced on Monday that they have signed running back Terrell Jennings, guard Ryan Johnson, linebacker Jay Person, and defensive end Jotham Russell. 

Russell is a part of the International Pathways Program, meaning the team receives a roster exemption for him. 

Along with these four signings, the Patriots have released running back Ke'Shawn Vaughn. 

Here is a quick breakdown of the four new members of the Patriots: 

RB Terrell Jennings

Jennings spent four seasons at Florida A&M, playing in a total of 44 games with 281 rushing attempts for 1,860 yards and 24 touchdowns. A 6-foot-1, 225 pound running back, Jennings specifically finished the 2023 season with 120 carries for 674 yards and nine touchdowns.  

G Ryan Johnson 

Johnson was a strategic pickup for the Patriots, having experience playing both guard and tackle in college. He started at Duquesne before transferring to Youngstown State and starting in all games at guard during his senior season. 

LB Jay Person 

A 6-foot-2, 237-pound linebacker, Person is joining the team after a short stint at Appalachian State before transferring and finishing his collegiate career at Chattanooga. He finished his career, playing in 51 total games and finished with 233 total tackles, 26.5 sacks, 6 passes defensed, 9 forced fumbles and 3 fumble recoveries

DE Jotham Russell
