The Patriots yesterday signed rookie Stephen Sene, a 6-foot-6, 310-pound offensive lineman from Colombia, S.C. The 24-year-old — who was originally signed by St. Louis as an undrafted free agent on May 1 but was then released by the Rams on July 28 — played at Liberty University.
Playing left tackle, he was part of an offensive line last season that helped Liberty rank No. 3 nationally in scoring offense (42.64 points per game), No. 9 with 32 rushing touchdowns, No. 15 in total offense (429.64 yards per game) and No. 18 nationally in team rushing yards per game (215.91 yards per game).
