The New England Patriots announced Monday the signing of rookie free agent and former BYU defensive lineman Eathyn Manumaleuna.
Manumaleuna was originally picked up by the New York Giants following the draft, but was released on June 19. Manumaleuna had 143 tackles and 5.5 sacks in his time at BYU.
UCLA defense lineman Seali'i Epenesa was released to make room for Manumaleuna.
