The Patriots are bringing another wide receiver to town.

According to reports by ESPN West Palm and NEPatriotsDraft.com, New England has invited former Tennessee wide receiver Nu'Keese Richardson to minicamp.

"Cant wait to this field 2maro," Richardson tweeted Thursday. "Boston wat up…"

Richardson was kicked out of Tennessee during his freshman season for taking part in an armed robbery. After leaving Tennessee in 2009, Richardson spent 2010 at Coffeyville (Kan.) Community College. He was then out of football before landing at the University of Pikeville in 2013, where he caught 39 passes for 588 yards.

Richardson (5-foot-10, 160 pounds) was also arrested in 2011 for failing to appear in traffic court after being cited for driving without a license.

ESPN reports that Patriots assistant to the coaching staff Michael Lombardi reached out to Richardson's high school coach Wednesday to inquire about the wide receiver.

Richardson took part in Florida Atlantic’s pro day in April.
