Officially inked Monday, Tiquan Underwood was sporting a Patriots hoodie with No. 10 — the number that formerly belonged to waived wide receiver Darnell Jenkins — and was impossible to miss in the locker room at Gillette Stadium with his retro high-top fade.  Check the pic after the jump…
“I’m just here trying to help the team the best I can, whether it’s special teams or offense, right now I’m just learning this playbook,” said Underwood. “Just taking it day by day.”

Underwood was actually in Foxborough just a couple weeks ago with theJacksonville Jaguars and spoke glowingly of watching the New England offense in the Patriots’ 47-12 triumph. He’s excited about the potential of catching passes from quarterback Tom Brady.

“When you get the opportunity to play with a quarterback of that caliber, just to be a part of an organization this caliber, it’s very exciting,” said Underwood. “I’m looking forward to it.”

Underwood appeared in 19 games over two seasons with the Jaguars, primarily as a kick returner (he averaged 23.4 yards per return while bringing back 24 kicks last season). Underwood also caught eight passes for 111 yards last season. He’s not worried about his role in New England yet, he’s just trying to prove he deserves a chance to stick around.

“I haven’t spoken to anybody much, they told me to come in ready to work, learn the playbook, and then go out there and fight for a position,” said Underwood. “Just go hard.

“[Being released in Jacksonville is] part of this business. It’s going to happen to each and every one of us at one point. I wouldn’t say surprised, but you get down when something like that happen. But one door closes, another opens. I’m just looking forward to the next opportunity I have, which is here with the New England Patriots.”
