The New England Patriots are continuing to make changes to their roster throughout their offseason program.

After releasing offensive lineman Andrew Stueber and watching him sign with the Atlanta Falcons, the Patriots signed the player that the Falcons released to sign him - wide receiver JaQuae Jackson (via. Mark Daniels).

Atlanta originally signed Jackson as an undrafted free agent this offseason following a collegiate career that started at Cal PA and finished at Rutgers.

During his lone season with the Scarlett Knights, Jackson recorded 22 receptions for 361 yards and a touchdown. In his three years at Cal PA, he recorded 148 receptions for 2,120 yards and 23 scores.

New England will need to make another roster move to open a spot for Jackson.
