Former Players

Will Allen: Allen could align in a number of locations, but both as a slot cornerback and safety (as we’ve seen during OTA’s) seem to make the most sense.

Steve Gregory: Gregory may end up as a starter alongside Chung in his first year in New England, and is likely to end up on the field quite a bit no matter what given his experience and versatility. From what we’ve seen from Gregory, and what we heard during the free agency process, he fits the mold of a free safety.
ESPN

“Fullbacks Spencer Larsen and Tony Fiammetta were both signings that hint that Bill Belichick has something up his sleeve in terms of personnel if either one of them pans out. Both are good enough as lead blockers and can be outlet options as receivers.”

The Patriots haven’t had a regular fullback for a full year since Heath Evans left following the 2008 season, and either Larsen or Fiammetta could provide New England with some interesting offensive wrinkles in 2012.

Fantasy Advice

Although his “injury prone” label is over-hyped, Mathews has yet to play a full season and is in store for more touches than years past. Be sure to handcuff Curtis Brinkley if Mathews is your selection.

Christopher Price gets an opposing scout's take on the Patriots' offseason moves. Here are a few:

"Chandler Jones gives them a guy with length and pass rush presence. He is very similar in stature and play style to Andre Carter, who they got some mileage from before the injury last year. Dont’a Hightower is a solid football player that has come up in the type of system and coaching that prepares him for New England. They made their defense better in the front 7 with those two picks."

TYLER PROVO
Position: Fullback/Tight End
Height/Weight: 6-foot-2 / 235
Rating: Three stars (No. 2 FB)
College: Syracuse

Notable: Provo alternates between fullback, tight end and H-back for American Heritage, but he expects to play tight end at Syracuse. He's the younger brother of Nick Provo, a first-team all-Big East tight end for Syracuse last fall.

Quotable: "Some people want to call him a tight end, but he's not really built like a tight end. He's built more like a fullback. He's a guy who can go down the field and do something in the passing game and be a candidate to receive the ball out of the backfield, but what he does for American Heritage that makes him so important for them, and why I think Syracuse values him so high, is that he's a devastating blocker."

Secret weaponProvo is a jack-of-all-trades who lines up at fullback, H-back and tight end for American Heritage, but he estimates that he's in the backfield for about 75 percent of his team's snaps. He's looking forward to playing tight end for Syracuse in 2013.

He's hoping Syracuse uses him the same way it utilized his older brother, Nick Provo, who earned first-team all-Big East honors and caught 51 passes for 537 yards and seven touchdowns last season.

"He was a great weapon at Syracuse," Provo said. "That's kind of what I want to be. I don't want to play straight fullback in college."

Provo hasn't been able to get the ball in his hands nearly that often at American Heritage. Socha said Provo had about 12 catches and four carries last year, though the Stallions will attempt to get the ball in his hands more often this fall. When Provo lines up in the backfield, he generally serves as a blocking back for Bryant.

But that hasn't stopped him from catching the attention of recruits.

Provo is a three-star prospect rated by ********** as the No. 2 fullback in the 2013 class, even though he plans to play tight end at Syracuse. He has received offers from Boston College, Louisville, UCF and Florida International as well as Syracuse
