The New England Patriots' latest trade already has its players' stamp of approval.

But three more Patriots also welcomed Sanu to Foxboro with open arms: Devin and Jason McCourty, who both played college football with Sanu at Rutgers, and fellow wide receiver Julian Edelman.
Sanu joins a strong Rutgers contingent in New England that also includes safety Duron Harmon and assistant coach Steve Belichick, who was a long-snapper for the Scarlet Knights during Sanu's final season there in 2011.
As for Edelman, he's likely happy to have another productive wide receiver to take the heat off him.
