Stallworth in focus

A few quick hits on WR Donte' Stallworth, who agreed to terms on a contract with the Patriots on Sunday morning:

  • Height: 6-0

  • Weight: 196

  • First round pick (13th overall) out of Tennessee in 2002.

  • 26 years old; turns 27 in November.

  • Considered one of the faster players at the position, and will most often play on the outside.

  • Big-play ability is evidenced in his 15.1 yards per catch average over his career.

  • Had a career-high 70 receptions in 2005.

  • Was traded to the Eagles prior to the 2006 season and had 38 catches in 12 games last year. The Eagles traded a conditional fourth-round draft pick and linebacker Mark Simoneau to acquire Stallworth from the Saints.

  • Philadelphia Inquirer reported earlier this month that Stallworth is in NFL's substance abuse program.

  • Has had some nagging hamstring problems at times.
