Pats Sign WR Terrence Nunn

Former University of Nebraska wide receiver Terrence Nunn has a new home in the NFL, and that’s with Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots. The 22-year-old free agent went undrafted in 2007 but was just signed to an undisclosed deal with the Patriots, joining receivers Randy Moss and Wes Welker for a piece of the team’s offensive action.

Terrence Nunn, a native of Houston, Texas, played ball for four years in college at Nebraska and made 37 starts for the Cornhuskers, nailing 136 career receptions for 1,762 yards and 11 touchdowns. Though he finished his collegiate career just seven receptions short of a school record (143), Nunn is one of the most recognized players to come out of Nebraska.

The Patriots have been shopping around for wide receivers over the past week, acknowledging that the team tried out three receivers last week before finally settling on Nunn. The 2009 season will mark Nunn’s debut in the NFL, and the former Nebraska standout will also be competing for a spot on the team against receivers Sam Aiken, Tyree Barnes, Julian Edelman, Joey Galloway, Greg Lewis, Robert Ortiz, Matthew Slater, Brandon Tate and Shun White.
