Rouse is an insurance acquisition, not a player the Patriots want to spotlight. His small amount of NFL experience can still matter because the other tackle backups are rookies and the team needs a prepared emergency option.

Weaknesses: No career starts and a very limited offensive sample leave his ceiling uncertain.
