NFL fans are roasting a player following the New England Patriots signing him to a deal, simply because of his name.
The Pats have announced adding linebacker Diego Fagot to their roster following his workout with the team in Foxboro on Monday.
The 25-year-old, a former Navy inside LB, started his NFL career after getting an invite to rookie minicamp by the Baltimore Ravens, having gone undrafted last year. He earned an offer from the team but was ultimately waived.
Now that he’s worked his way back into the league, fans can’t help but pop the jokes. You could see some of the reactions to the signing right below:
