PHOENIX -- What type of player are the New England Patriots getting in seven-year veteran cornerback Bradley Fletcher?

Fletcher seemed to lose confidence last season with the Eagles, who decided that a fresh start would be best for both sides. But Eagles coach Chip Kelly had complimentary things to say about the 6-foot-0, 200-pound Fletcher.

"I love Fletch," he said Wednesday at the NFC coaches breakfast. "[He's] the ultimate competitor. Works his tail off every single day in practice. He’s a physical player. He played really well for us also on special teams. They’ll get a guy who’s a great teammate, will buy into Bill’s system."

Phil Sheridan, who covers the Eagles for ESPN.com's NFL Nation, previously provided more context on Fletcher's two-year tenure in Philadelphia.

We currently slotted Fletcher into the No. 2 spot on the Patriots' projected cornerback depth chart.
