First and 10: Why Drew Rosenhaus could have a sizable impact on Patriots' offseason fortunes

Welcome to first and 10, a roundup of all the (mostly) Patriots-related news you need to start your Wednesday. Grab your coffee and let’s get to it.

A few quick thoughts to get your morning started...



--Drew Rosenhaus has a real chance to shape the Patriots' offseason -- he's the agent for Rob Gronkowski, Trent Brown and Dwayne Allen. (Not to mention any potential free-agent targets or draft prospects who might be repped by Rosenhaus who could intrigue New England.) We all know Gronkowski's situation, but Brown could hit the free-agent market next month, while it's believed Allen would need to have his current deal re-done if he wants to return in 2019.

--For the record, I still believe Gronkowski returns for 2019.

--One guy who could be a part of the conversation at tackle in 2019 could be Ulrick John. The offensive lineman, who sustained a season-ending injury last August, was coming on last summer as a possible backup tackle before his injury. According to a league source, his rehab has gone well, and he's hoping to return to New England in 2019.

Now, on with the links...

1. Got some quality time with T.J. Moe Tuesday evening, talking about the combine. The Mizzou receiver absolutely destroyed the combine back in 2013, and was signed by the Patriots as an undrafted free agent. He shares a couple of his favorite New England combine stories.

2. Talked with one of my favorites Tuesday night, Chico at 92.3 in Cleveland. We ran the gamut when it came to Boston sports, so this was more than just a Patriots-related chat.

3. I'm calling an audible this week and holding my weekly chat on Thursday at 1 p.m. Get your questions in now, because -- even though it's on a different day this week -- it's still going to be epic.

4. The "Do Your Job" features that have been produced by the Patriots over the last few months are really enjoyable pieces that shine a light on some of the important behind-the-scenes folks within the organization. The latest takes a look at the scouting department -- Part One is here and Part Two is here.

5. Pro Football Focus says Trey Flowers was New England's most improved player in 2019. "Flowers went from a solid run defender and pass rusher to high-quality in both regards this past season," writes Mike Renner of PFF.

6. Here's a fairly easy-to-navigate page when it comes to the details on the combine, that includes the workout schedule and more.

7. It doesn't sound like there will be a lot of changes when it comes to replay. Likely going to have to wait until the coaches' breakfast to get Bill Belichick's take.

8. Two years ago, receiver John Ross set a combine record in the 40, finishing with a 4.22. Now, the Bengals are looking to trade him. Should the Pats make a play for the speedster?

9. On Tuesday, Niners' kicker Robbie Gould was the first player to be hit with the franchise tag. Could Stephen Gostkowski be the second kicker to be tagged?

10. A rare Tom Brady rookie card sold for more than $400,000 at an online auction.
