Develin signed a two-year deal with the Patriots on Monday, Ben Volin of the Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Develin played in 30 percent of New England's offensive snaps in 2016, recording three receptions for 18 yards. He's primarily a blocker and a special teams player who shouldn't be expected to have any fantasy value in 2017, though his return is a boost for the rest of the Patriots' running game.
