Source: Corey Wooton has visited the Patriots, Bills, Chiefs and Jets

Northwestern defensive lineman Corey Wooton has visited the New England Patriots, Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs and the New York Jets, according to a source close to the program with knowledge of the situation.

Per our source, he has upcoming visits with the Cleveland Browns and the St. Louis Rams.

The versatile 6-foot-6, 270-pounder ran in the 4.8 range at his Pro Day workout. He could fit in well as a 3-4 defensive end and has even performed as a rush linebacker in positional drills for NFL teams.

Wooton improved on his time from the NFL scouting combine where he ran a 4.92.

Wooton, who tore his anterior cruciate ligament in the 2008 Alamo Bowl, was once regarded as a sure-fire first-round draft pick.

Now, he has battled his way back to the point where he's expected to go in the second round, according to draft analysts.

Wooton had a prolific career at Northwestern with 156 career tackles, 38 tackles for losses and 19 1/2 sacks.

This past season while coming off the knee injury, Wooton recorded 21 tackles, six for losses and four sacks.

He intercepted four career passes.

In 2008, prior to the injury, he posted 42 tackles, 16 for losses and 10 sacks.

At the combine, Wooton bench pressed 225 pounds 20 times, turned in a 32-inch vertical leap and had a 9-foot broad jump.
