"For much of the offseason, there was a lot of excitement amongst Patriots fans for one rookie that nobody would have expected. Beyond the optimism surrounding players like left tackle Will Campbell and running back TreVeyon Henderson, undrafted wide receiver Efton Chism III drew the most hype, which only increased as the summer went on. He not only impressed at training camp, but he also outperformed all expectations during the preseason games, officially becoming the most exciting rookie for fans to gravitate toward."
"Because Josh McDaniels is back and he has shown to be an expert in making slot receivers like Chism superstars, there has been plenty of talk suggesting what kind of player he could inevitably become in the Patriots' system. He has already garnered numerous comparisons to Patriots greats, such as Danny Amendola and Julian Edelman, primarily due to his size and skill set."
Efton Chism III generated notable offseason hype after standing out in training camp and outperforming expectations in preseason games. Comparisons emerged to Patriots slot receivers like Danny Amendola and Julian Edelman because of his size and skill set. The return of Josh McDaniels fueled optimism about Chism’s potential role in the Patriots’ offense. Chism was ruled out for Week 3 against the Steelers and has yet to make a regular-season appearance. The slot position has been inconsistent early in the season, with Stefon Diggs often lining up there and DeMario Douglas shifted to the outside, limiting immediate opportunities for Chism.
