Not only are the New England Patriots hosting veteran defensive end John Abraham, they also have a visit lined up with former Indianapolis Colts pass rusher Dwight Freeney, per Tom Curran of CSSNE. Though Freeney was primarily a 4-3 end his whole career with the Colts until 2012, his newfound experience as a 3-4 linebacker might be attractive to the Patriots, who are known to run a hybrid defense that incorporates elements and packages of both sets.
