The New England Patriots were busy on the Tuesday of their bye week, hosting six veteran players for workouts.
The Patriots tried out running backs Montee Ball and Darrin Reaves, tight ends Brandon Bostick, Brian Leonhardt and Konrad Reuland, and quarterback Zac Dysert, according to a source.
Ball was selected by the Denver Broncos in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft out of Wisconsin, where he played with current Patriots running back James White. Ball carried the ball 175 times for 731 yards with five touchdowns in two seasons with the Broncos. He also has 29 career receptions for 207 yards.
Reaves went undrafted out of University of Alabama-Birmingham last season and has spent time with the Carolina Panthers and Kansas City Chiefs. He has 31 career rushing attempts for 78 yards.
Bostick caught nine passes for 123 yards with two touchdowns in three seasons with the Green Bay Packers before famously botching an onside kick in last season’s NFC Championship Game. The Packers released him, and he spent portions of the summer with the Minnesota Vikings and Arizona Cardinals.
Leonhardt spent two seasons with the Oakland Raiders, with whom he caught six passes for 35 yards and one touchdown. He went undrafted out of Division II Bemidji State in 2013.
Reuland went undrafted out of Stanford in 2011, but he has spent time with the San Francisco 49ers, New York Jets, Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Ravens. He has 12 career receptions for 90 yards.
Dysert was selected by the Broncos out of Miami of Ohio in the seventh round of the 2013 NFL Draft. He also has spent time with the Chicago Bears and Houston Texans.
