Fayetteville native signs free agent deal with defending Super Bowl champions

FAYETTEVILLE (KFSM) – There hadn’t been much chatter surrounding Arkansas linebacker Brooks Ellis following the NFL Draft last weekend but today it was announced he’s joining the defending Super Bowl champions.

Ellis, the Razorbacks leading tackler the past two seasons, signed a free agent contract with the New England Patriots on Friday as he joins fellow Arkansas rookies Cody Hollister (undrafted free agent) and Deatrich Wise (fourth round pick) with the team.
