Image courtesy of @andybackstrom It’s tough to have a better couple months than Zay Flowers is having. With his draft stock soaring despite being on a 3-9 team last year, the guy that holds every major receiving record at Boston College went and worked with the Patriots coaching staff in Las Vegas.

E.J Perry worked out for coaches and front office personnel last night at the Combine in Indianapolis. Here are three thoughts on his workout. 1. Ran an impressive 4.65 forty: Perry ran a 4.65 forty which is a good time for a quarterback. In this era of athletic, dual threat quarterbacks, forty times are more important.

Here are ten thoughts. 1.It doesn’t appear the Patriots have met with Tom Brady’s agent Don Yee as was reported earlier in the week.

The Patriots have several key free agents this off-season and there is a good chance they may lose a couple of them, most notably Trey Flowers and Trent Brown who could both command big money on the open market. The combine will give Bill Belichick and his staff an opportunity to see some of the top talent in this upcoming draft workout and possibly fill some of the positions that…
