College career:
Jourdan Heiliburg is quite the special team player for New England. The 6’2” Linebacker would play in 51 games while at App State. Heiliburg totaled 873 special team snaps and recorded 34 tackles. Most of the tackles came from special teams. A lot of experience on the special team unit could grant Heiliburg a possible spot on this team.

Special team experience. The Patriots struggled on Special teams in the 2022 season.
Overall good tackling
Could be good depth on the PS (Practice Squad)
Cons
Didn’t see much time on defense
Okay speed, nothing too special
