NE Patriots Draft has learned that the Patriots have scheduled a workout with Indiana LB Matt Mayberry today in Bloomington.

Mayberry made his name at Indiana being a tackling machine at middle linebacker. He finished his career with 10.5 sacks and 3 interceptions.

At 6-2/240, Mayberry would me a little small to line up at SILB for the Patriots, but they might be taking a look at him to backup at the WILB position. Jerod Mayo and Gary Guyton are currently manning the inside linebacker positions for the Patriots.

NE Patriots Draft has learned that the New England Patriots will hold a private workout with Ohio State NFL Draft prospect Thaddeus Gibson. Gibson projects to be an OLB in the Patriots 3-4 system.

Gibson has been rising up draft boards after an impressive showing at the NFL Combine, leading all defensive linemen in the 3-cone drill. Gibson totaled 4 sacks during his junior season.

This week the Patriots will be holding private workouts with Florida QB Tim Tebow and Citadel WR Andre Roberts.

Tim Tebow debuted his much heralded new throwing motion at the Florida Pro Day yesterday, getting solid, but not spectacular reviews. Bill Belichick would likely be drafting Tebow to fill both the backup QB role as well as using him in specific game situations. The Patriots adore versatility.

Andre Roberts has long been a favorite of NE Patriots Draft, as his fearlessness over the middle will fill a hole left vacated by Jabar Gaffney. Roberts is very speedy and a smart football player.
