Just one day after he was released by the Giants TE Jake Ballard was picked up off waivers by the New England Patriots.
The Giants released him because he tore his ACL in the Super Bowl and did not pass his physical.
Patriots will now have three dangerous TEs in Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez, and Jake Ballard.
Ballard had 38 receptions for 604 yards for an 15.9 average and 4 touchdowns in 2011 for the Giants.
