Baylark gets look

As Patriots coach Bill Belichick and Vice President of Player Personnel Scott Pioli are in the midst of their annual scouting trip down South, the team isn't forgetting about its own backyard.

On Wednesday, the Patriots put UMass running back Steve Baylark through a private workout in Amherst.

“It was exciting for Steve to have the Patriots take a closer look at him,” said Mike Boyer, Baylark's agent, who noted that Baylark has gained more yards over his career than any Division 1 draft-eligible running back.

“He’s looking for a place to showcase his talents and the Patriots’ team-first approach would fit his style. Steve is willing to do whatever it takes at the next level to contribute to a winning ballclub.”
