It's early but he looks like he has good quickness plus Belichick said yesterday he has a nose for the ball. It's a good thing they have more pieces of a 4-3 in place because he's a fit in that scheme @ 6'2 300 lbs or so. I remember seeing Fred Smerlas on one of the Sports shows...maybe CSNNE... talking him up during camp and then he made the team so maybe Belchick has mined another UDFA gem. He deserves credit for doing that once again and Buchanan looks like another one that will help the outside rush.
In any case he'll get a big shot of PT along with Chris Jones with Vince out.
“He’s(Vellano) got good instincts, kind of has a nose for the ball, good feel for what’s going on. He’s really worked hard to first come in as an undrafted player and earn a spot on the roster. He had an opportunity to get some playing time as we went through the preseason and he took advantage of those opportunities. He made a few plays, had some production. That led to a little bit more opportunity.
“There’s a lot of things that’s he’s improved in in terms of technique and recognition and reaction. He’s making progress. He works hard every day. He’s the first one on and last one off the field or close to it, puts in a lot of extra time, tries to get better at the things he needs to work on and that’s helped him.”
