| Biography: |
How Acquired: Claimed off waivers (Vikings) by the New England Patriots September 2, 2007.
Future Contract Status
2007: Originally signed by the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted rookie following the 2007 NFL Draft, the Patriots claimed Herron off waivers before the regular season began. After one week, the Patriot released Herron and the Vikings re-claimed him, signing him to their practice squad for 11 weeks before promoting him to the 53-man roster. Spent the next two games on the inactive list before playing in the final two games of the season on special teams, registering one special-teams tackle.
2007 Predraft Analysis: Three-year starter at Michigan State who posted 79/7/2 as a senior, intercepting one pass and breaking up two more. Sophomore totals included a career-high 95 tackles.
Pos: Tough, run-defending two-down linebacker. Flows to the action, wedges his way upfield and quickly filling gaps in run defense. Explosive at the point and quickly closes to the action.
Neg: Does not play with great balance and is slow adjusting off the
initial block. Not decisive in coverage, chases opponents down the
field and possesses marginal ball skills.
