Rex Ryan: 'We've picked Zach Sudfeld's brain about New England Patriots'

New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan has revealed that he has asked tight end Zach Sudfeld for information about the New England Patriots.

The 25-year-old was released by the Patriots on October 4 after spending the entire off-season with the club, but was claimed by the Jets on waivers before Bill Belichick's side could add him to their practice squad.

"Well, he never really remembered anything -- just kidding," Ryan told the New York Daily News.

"You obviously pick his brain and all that other stuff for sure. He's a sharp young man, so we do our due diligence and get what we can out of him."

The Jets are 3-3 in their season going into their week seven clash with the Patriots.
