Patriots select ex-Tide DE Brandon Deaderick late in seventh round

The NFL draft didn't end before Alabama defensive end Brandon Deaderick heard his name called.
Deaderick was selected today at pick No. 247 , 40 selections into the seventh round and the ninth before the end of the draft, by Nick Saban's friend Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots.
A two-year starter at Alabama, Deaderick's career will be best remembered for the fact he was shot as victim of a failed robbery attempt the week leading up to the 2009 season opener against Virginia Tech.
Deaderick makes seven picks for Alabama in this year's draft. All but offensive lineman Mike Johnson have been on the defensive side of the football.
