New England Patriots agree four-year deal with rookie Malcom Brown

The New England Patriots have agreed a rookie deal with 2015 NFL Draft pick Malcom Brown.

The young defensive tackle is thought to have been brought in to help fill the void of the recently-departed Vince Wilfork, who was released before signing for the Houston Texans.

Brown is already thought to have been getting some important off-season reps under his belt following injuries to Sealver Siliga and Chris Jones.

The first-rounder has agreed a four-year deal with his new team.
