AJ Derby Drafted

We could have used him. Bill Belichek pulled the trigger on him in the 6th round, TE.

He only wanted to play QB while at Iowa. He had just moved to special teams and linebacker when he decided to transfer to pursue being a QB.

Dude would have been a 2nd round draft pick as a LB/TE (whichever he played) if he stayed at Iowa.

Good for him , not a QB unless Belichek is going to groom him to take over for brady, hahahaha

Seriously, good for him, an Iowa kid who went for his dream to play qb, could be a TE on a team that loves TEs, win a ring.

Probably got a good word from KF. Bill and KF are pretty tight and Bill gives a lot opportunities to former Iowa players. Development pick. Put him on the practice squad for a couple of years and who knows. Congrats A.J.. My only question is how can Bill take A.J. with all world Bibs coming out of Ames.

You guys are overlooking the deep ties between Bill and Biels, they are total bros.

No you are dead wrong. He would have won the Heisman and cured Heparin Induced Thombocytopenia if he would have stayed at Iowa.

With Gronk's reputation for hard-living who knows what the future holds for AJ? Congrats kid, now make the most of it.

Actually, I think Goodell has suspended Gronk for a year for bad taste, so AJ should start.

What a gem of a spot for AJ to land in. Great system for catch passing TE's.
