New England’s final pick of the 2012 NFL Draft was wide receiver Jeremy Ebert out of Northwestern as he was selected in the seventh round, 235th overall.
While playing at Northwestern, Ebert was utilized as a slot receiver as he recorded fairly productive stats his senior year: 75 receptions, 1,060 yards and 11 touchdowns.

It’s the day that every NFL player dreads.
If you’re not getting cut today, it’s likely one of your best friends is. But that’s just part of the business. Patriots cuts are coming out already and there have been some big and surprising names involved.
I received a ton of questions on twitter about what the cuts may mean, so I figured I’d answer them here.

If you had to categorize the 2012 off-season so far, it might be called “the off-season of the WR.”
After a 2011 season of sub-par WR performances, the Patriots identified a need and addressed it with abundance.
