Former Elder High School standout Kyle Rudolph has interest in signing with the New England Patriots, according to a report Wednesday from NESN.com's Doug Kyed.
Kyed added in his report that tight end is one of the Pats' greatest needs this offseason, and the team has shown "major interest in Rudolph in the past" - attempting to trade for him as recently as two years ago.
Rudolph was released Tuesday by the Vikings after 10 NFL seasons with Minnesota. He wrote for theplayerstribune.com that he's so proud of the decade he spent with the Vikings.
Rudolph's former team paid tribute to him with another tweet Wednesday:
Rudolph had 28 catches for 334 yards with one touchdown - on an impressive, one-handed catch against the Tennessee Titans in September - in 12 games last season.
Rudolph and his family announced last March they were donating 82,000 meals to Minnesota residents affected by uncertainty related to COVID-19 through Second Harvest Heartland.
Last January, thousands of dollars were donated to Kyle Rudolph's End Zone at University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital after gloves Rudolph wore, signed and donated were sold on eBay.
