DONTAVIUS

RUSSELL

Dontavius Russell, our 138th ranked defensive tackle, is best suited to be a depth backup. We project he will end up with the New England Patriots because they could use a player of this quality after losing Daniel Ekuale for an extended period of time. The Patriots currently have 4 healthy defensive tackles, and 1 is rated better than Russell: (Lawrence Guy).

The Patriots currently have no defensive tackles under contract beyond the 2026 season, so Russell is probably looking at a one year deal, due to his rank, with the team.
