ANALYSIS
Armstead signed with the Patriots in February of 2013 after playing one season with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League. While Armstead was seen as a versatile defensive lineman with much promise, adverse health overshadowed his career, as he suffered a heart attack at age 20 and spent last season on injured reserve due to an infection.
