"After appearing to hit it out of the park in this year's draft, early signs indicated the Patriots might have lucked out with some undrafted free agents, as well. That looked to be the case with training camp standouts fullback Brock Lampe and running back Lan Larison, only for the pair to suffer season-ending injuries before taking the field this fall."
"For those updating Patriots rosters at home, please note that Jack Westover has switched to 37 (also his number at University of Washington). He had been No. 87 in NE.Switch highlights how Westover's primary role has been a FB-type with added duties on special teams.- Mike Reiss (@MikeReiss) September 2, 2025 That was further confirmed on the Patriots' unofficial depth chart, with Westover now officially listed as a fullback as of Tuesday afternoon."
The Patriots saw early undrafted free agent promise but suffered setbacks when fullback Brock Lampe and running back Lan Larison sustained season-ending injuries. Preseason standout receiver Efton Chism III earned a 53-man roster spot and remains a potential offensive weapon. Second-year undrafted tight end Jack Westover began camp as TE3 behind Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper but shifted roles after Lampe's injury. Westover changed his jersey to 37, matching his University of Washington number, and has assumed primary FB-type responsibilities along with special teams duties. The unofficial depth chart now lists Westover as the team's fullback, reflecting the coaching staff's preference for the position.
