Keller is visiting the Patriots, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport.
ANALYSIS
The report adds that the physical on Keller's knee went very well, which is not insignificant, given that the tight end tore his ACL, MCL and PCL (while also suffering a dislocated kneecap) last August. Assuming his health, Keller would provide the Patriots with insurance for Rob Gronkowski, who is coming off a serious knee injury of his own that clouds his Week 1 status. Moreover, in a scenario when both tight ends are healthy, it's not hard to imagine the duo potentially working well together when the Patriots employ two-tight end sets.

Hamstring and ankle injuries limited Keller to eight games last season with the Jets. But all was not lost. He improved his catch rate by more than 20 points to 78 percent, and his yards per target increased to 8.8.
This season, he heads to Miami to take over the starting tight-end job for the Dolphins. Keller plays more like big wide receiver as he has good speed and excellent body control in the air. His skill set should fit nicely in coach Joe Philbin's offensive system, and Ryan Tannehill is an upgrade over Mark Sanchez. Moreover, having Mike Wallace stretch the field on the outside should open space for Keller to work down the seam. Anthony Fasano, now with the Chiefs, saw 68 targets in a similar role last season for the Dolphins, but Keller could surpass that given his pedigree and Tannehill's expected development in Year 2.
