Former East Carolina tight end Bryce Williams has agreed to terms on an undrafted free agent deal with the New England Patriots, per his Twitter account.

This comes after an earlier report from NJ.com claiming that Williams was expected to sign with the New York Giants, which Hoist The Colours learned shortly afterwards was false.

New England showed lots of interest in Williams leading up to the NFL Draft, where he surprisingly went undrafted despite being ranked as a top 10 tight end according to some pundits.

Williams had 58 receptions for 588 yards and four touchdowns last season for the Pirates.
