Patriots Re-Sign Anfernee Jennings To Three-Year Deal
The New England Patriots re-signed linebacker Anfernee Jennings to an undisclosed three-year deal on Wednesday, according to sources. This was an expected move after Jennings started 14 games and had 66 tackles for the Patriots in his third year with the team in 2023. In addition to his 66 tackles (49 solo), Jennings had 1.5 sacks, 14 tackles for loss, four QB hits and a fumble recovery. The 26-year-old was New England's third-round pick in 2020 out of Alabama. In his three years in the NFL, he's recorded a total of 113 tackles (74 solo), three sacks, 15 tackles for loss, nine QB hits, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 45 games played (21 starts). Jennings will need to continue improving to hold onto a starting role in New England.
The New England Patriots used the No. 87 pick in the NFL draft to select Alabama edge rusher Anfernee Jennings. The redshirt senior will head to New England after notching 12 tackles for loss and eight sacks this past season in Alabama. Jennings lacks explosion, but he is powerful and can be a quality asset against the run. He still has a ways to go to become an impact player as a pass rusher, but the Patriots should be able to carve out a role for him.
