Will Hastings has a new home in New England, according to multiple NFL reports.

The former Auburn wide receiver will look to compete for a roster spot after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent.

Hastings broke onto the scene in 2017 catching 26 passes for 525 yards and four touchdowns while playing with Jarrett Stidham.

He’ll now reunite with his former quarterback who’s the current favorite to take over for Tom Brady.

In 2018 Stidham would be without one of his favorite targets as Hastings tore his ACL in the spring and was forced to undergo another knee surgery in October.

He would return in 2019 but wouldn’t be able to return to his 2017 self, catching just 19 passes for 222 yards and one touchdown.

Listed at just 5-foot-10 174 pounds, Hastings profiles as a small slot receiver in the NFL and can learn behind a similar archetype in Julian Edelman.
