I have always had a sense that Fumagalli just never got a quality chance to prove himself as a receiver - so I suspect he has something to offer. Since Gronk has been gone - the Patriots are where young TEs go and kill their careers.
I think NE is a great place for him. They signed two big FA TE's this year but he can crack their rotation with them typically keeping a lot of TE's on the roster. Another player I think we will look back and think "Look what he can do when given more of an opportunity", lets face it when Albert O was out last year we relied a lot more on Fumagalli off the PS then any of our other TE's who has been active all season. He has a lil something in him.
