The New England Patriots took the Texas Christian wide receiver with the 102nd pick in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL Draft.
After using three of their first four draft picks on defense in the first three rounds of the 2013 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots chose to give quarterback Tom Brady another target to throw to with their first pick in the fourth round. The Patriots selected Texas Christian wide receiver Josh Boyce with the 102nd pick (fourth round) of the NFL Draft. Boyce is listed at 5-foot-11, 206 pounds and according to NFL.com, ran a 4.38 40-yard dash. “Josh had a good career at TCU,” said Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. “Really top kid, strong, tough, fast.

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick donned a Watertown Police hoodie – cut at the sleeves - to his NFL Draft press conference Friday night.
Kraft employees have stood as “1 Boston” for those affected by the Marathon bombings and now the New England Patriots have shown they’re “Watertown Strong,” saluting those who answered the call in the massive search for the two bombing suspects last week. On Friday, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick wore a special Watertown Police Department hoodie and a Boston Strong ribbon to his press conference following day two of the NFL Draft, where the Pats selected four players in rounds two and three. Asked why Belichick was wearing the customized hoodie – cutoff sleeves and all – the coach said, “to support the Watertown Police.” “That was an unbelievable job they did,” Belichick said. “I’m sure we all followed it, followed as closely as we …

Find out why Amendola chose to sign with the Patriots and what he has to say about all those comparisons to Wes Welker.
Fair or not, Danny Amendola will forever be pegged as Wes Welker’s replacement in New England as the former St. Louis Rams wide receiver signed with the Patriots just hours after Welker left Foxborough for Denver. But the new Patriots wide receiver is looking to make his own mark with the Patriots. “First off, obviously I’m really excited to sign and excited for the opportunity and I’m excited to get down to work,” Amendola said after inking a 5-year contract with the Patriots. “I’m ready to get this process rolling and ready to start playing football. About all those comparisons to Wes, I’ve been hearing it for a long time. We went to the same college and I’ve been watching him play for a long time. He’s a great player, he’s been to a lot…

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick told media Monday he expects to return to the team in 2013.
One day after a crushing defeat in the AFC Championship Game, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was asked - after 37 years of NFL coaching experience – if he is energized to coach another season. “Yeah, I’ll be here,” Belichick said. “You’ll have to deal with me again next year. I know that’s disappointing for a lot of you. Until I’m told otherwise, I plan on being here.” Belichick’s confirmation in Monday’s end-of-season press conference at Gillette Stadium validates comments made by Patriots team president Jonathan Kraft last month on 98.5 The Sports Hub. Evening show host Adam Jones asked Kraft about the future of Bill Belichick amid speculation that offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels could be in line to replace the …

On Sunday, the New England Patriots will play in their seventh AFC Championship Game under head coach Bill Belichick and fourth in Foxborough. For Belichick, the NFL’s third most winningest head coach in the postseason, a trip to a conference championship game never gets old. “Of course we’re excited to be heading into the AFC Championship game against the Ravens,” Belichick said Monday. “It’s a great honor, really, to participate in the game; to be playing for the right to represent the AFC the following week.” Standing in the way of the Patriots returning to the Super Bowl for a second straight season and eighth time in franchise history is a familiar opponent in Baltimore. The Ravens defeated the Patriots, 31-30 in Week 3 of the regular…

New England Patriots have two picks left in the draft after drafting Jones, Hightower.
The New England Patriots took a big step in addressing their pass rush in the first round of the draft Thursday night. Bucking his usual modus operandi, Bill Belichick moved up twice in the round, grabbing Syracuse defensive end Chandler Jones at pick 21 and Alabama inside linebacker Dont'a Hightower at 25. Jones is a bit undersized as a lineman, and may project as an outside linebacker/defensive end in the Patriots' system. Hightower has drawn comparisons to current Pats linebacker Brandon Spikes, and word is he'll take a lot of work from Rob Ninkovich. With two picks remaining in the second round (and in the rest of the draft, for that matter), the Patriots may choose to address their remaining sore spot, the secondary. The elite corners…
