The New England Patriots selected former Florida State defensive tackle Joshua Farmer in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Now, they'll be adding another Seminole to their roster.

According to IV Life Management, former FSU linebacker Cam Riley has signed an undrafted free agent deal with the Patriots. Riley wasn't selected during the draft but the intriguing defender will still get an opportunity to showcase himself at the professional level.

Riley is coming off his only season with the Seminoles. He transferred into the program last summer and moved from defensive end to linebacker. Riley appeared in all 12 games and made one start, totaling 47 tackles, four tackles for loss, one sack, one forced fumble, and one pass deflection.

The Alabama native had a season-high ten tackles against Boston College - one of three games where a Seminole defender recorded 10+ tackles last fall.

Riley wasn't invited to the NFL Combine, though he did have a solid showing at Florida State's Pro Day, recording a 4.64 40-yard dash, 4.45 shuttle, 7.18 3-cone drill, 32" vertical, 10'01" broad jump, and 19 bench-press reps.

The 6-foot-5, 237-pound linebacker began his college career in the SEC with Auburn. During his four years with the Tigers, Riley appeared in 46 games and made ten starts. He totaled 120 tackles, eight tackles for loss, two sacks, and two pass deflections.
