Read below for an ongoing list of prospects who have reportedly met with the Patriots prior to the 2020 NFL Draft, sorted alphabetically by position. Many of the players confirmed themselves that they met with coaches or scouts from New England.
The Patriots have recently been linked to some of the top prospects in the 2020 NFL Draft, including Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert and Utah State quarterback Jordan Love. The list below gathered reports from various offseason events. Much of the meetings took place at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, but others have been “virtual” meetings with NFL team facilities closed amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

This is typically the time of year where teams hold their annual “top-30” pre-draft visits to their team facilities, but that’s obviously not possible right now. Teams have worked around the limitations by meeting with prospects remotely. So there’s a long list for every team, and the Patriots are no different.
Pre-draft meetings have been an indicator of whom the Patriots might draft. In 2019, the Pats had pre-draft meetings with eventual selections N’Keal Harry, Joejuan Williams, and Jarrett Stidham. It’s harder to predict this year, though, with the lack of top-30 visits.
The below table will be updated as more reports come in on the Patriots’ pre-draft meetings. The 2020 NFL Draft is scheduled to take place on time from April 23-25.
