Kight flying

There are quite a lot of unfamiliar faces catching passes for the Patriots during this camp, but few are as unfamiliar as Kelvin Kight. The 24-year-old wide receiver was signed by the team in late July. He was not drafted out of the University of Florida, has played in exactly one NFL game -- with the Green Bay Packers in 2004 -- and he has exactly zero pro receptions on his resume. Kight has also been the property of the St. Louis Rams, the Minnesota Vikings and the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Kight distinguished himself on special-teams drills after arriving in Foxboro, and today he was a favorite target during passing drills, running crisp routes and making catches on a few pass plays that drew cheers from the crowd.

Bill Belichick was guardedly upbeat about Kight's play so far, but added that he didn't want to "get all wound up over a few catches."
