Newly-signed UDFA Justus Tavai has family ties with Patriots
The New England Patriots have reportedly signed undrafted defensive lineman Justus Tavai, according to Doug Kyed of A to Z Sports.
Justus is the younger brother of Patriots linebacker Jahlani Tavai, who has helped build a successful career with the Patriots.
Justus recorded 34 tackles, five tackles for a loss, 3.5 sacks and one interception in 11 games for San Diego State in the 2022 season. This move gives New England defensive line depth and also allows them to fill out the 90-man roster.
The position is of course headlined by the likes of Christian Barmore and Davon Godchaux. However, this gives the organization another opportunity for production at the position.
It will be interesting to see if Justus Tavai keeps New England’s streak going, as they have had one undrafted free agent make the roster each year since 2004.
