Patriots Double Down on Secondary with Prunty

0:00On April 25th, the New England Patriots shook things up in the 5th round of the 2026 NFL draft, grabbing cornerback Karen Prunny, with the 171st overall pick. Folds bigger they might go receiver or linebacker, but nope, they doubled down on the secondary instead. Prunty stands 6 with 2 and weighs 190 pounds, clocking a quick 4.45 in the 40 yard dash. Last season he snagged 1 interception and broke up 8 passes, showing real ball skills. He even swung by for a pre-draft visit with the Pats, so this wasn't some random reach. They had eyes on him early. Draft day still rolling, with more picks on deck for New England to build out the roster. As the Pats keep stacking that defense, Prunty could lock down the back end right away. Stay tuned for how it all shakes out. That's the story for today, NFL News Today.
