The second-round rookie was not terribly effective over his nine appearances this season, generating one sack and just nine tackles on a workload of 19.8 defensive snaps per contest.

It’s an unfortunate incident, as Uche was expected to handle a major workload to close out the season so that the New England Patriots could better examine his abilities.
