Olympic silver medalist Jeff Demps to sign with New England Patriots
London Olympics silver medalist Jeff Demps signed a contract Friday with the New England Patriots.
<snip>
Demps flew to Orlando, Fla., on Friday to meet with his representatives and go over the details of the deal before signing. Several NFL teams, including the New York Jets, were interested in Demps, who was a running back at Florida. He was not drafted in April while he was preparing for the Olympics. He was part of the 4x100-meter relay team that finished second to Jamaica.
The 5-foot-7, 191-pound Demps played in 12 games last season at Florida, rushing for 569 yards and six touchdowns.
He had 31 rushes for more than 20 yards while with the Gators, most in the Southeastern Conference since 2008. He finished his collegiate career with 2,470 yards rushing and 23 touchdowns in four seasons.
