The New England Patriots hosted several NFL Draft prospects at Gillette Stadium on Tuesday, and all of them have one thing in common. Be it through college, high school or hometown, they all have ties to the region.
The following players have been confirmed as attendees:
The most prominent name on the list is cornerback Devon Marshall. Projected as a Day 3 selection in the draft later this month, the Boston native appeared in 48 games between stints at Villanova and N.C. State and registered four interceptions.
For him and other the other participants, Tuesday’s pro day was an opportunity to improve on their workout numbers — Marshall, for example, posted a fairly pedestrian 4.24 Relative Athletic Score thus far — and give the local team a more intimate look at what they bring to the table. Unlike Marshall, most of the invitees are not expected to hear their names called in the draft.
Among that specific group is UMass offensive tackle Ryan Mosesso, who was born in Marshfield and played high school football in Dedham.
“It’s incredible,” Mosesso told Pats Pulpit last month about getting invited to the workout. “It’s the first step, but it’s a dream come true, especially coming from the Patriots [with me] being from Massachusetts … It’s special.”
Last year, the Patriots signed two of their local workouts, offensive linemen Jack Conley (Boston College) and Cole Birdow (Merrimack), as rookie free agents after the draft. A third player, edge Hector Johnson (Endicott) was invited back to rookie minicamp on a tryout basis but ultimately not signed.

The local pro day featured players such as QB Brady Olson, RB Greg Desrosiers, and multiple receivers including Eamonn Dennis and Solomon Miller.
Scouting local talent may lead to the Patriots selecting players who understand the regional culture and can contribute immediately, enhancing team chemistry and performance.
The cornerbacks at the pro day include Elias Archie from Brown, Shahid Barros from Iowa, Malcolm Greene from UMass, and Devon Marshall from N.C. State.
