"Eliot Wolf quickly addresses the injury concerns surrounding Patriots' newest tight end. During his immediate post-selection meeting with reporters, Wolf was asked about Raridon's previous injuries and if that should be a concern for his future with the Patriots."
"The EVP of Player Personnel assured those with worries that they met with the tight end during the Combine and on a pre-draft visit, reviewed his medicals, and had 'no concerns' about what they saw."
"Raridon has the potential to be a legitimate weapon for Drake Maye as soon as his rookie season, especially since he looked well on his way to proving just how good he could be by recording 32 receptions for 482 yards in 12 games."
The Patriots focused on strengthening their defense and offense during the 2026 NFL Draft by selecting Gabe Jacas and Eli Raridon. Jacas, a pass rusher, quickly became a fan favorite. Raridon, a tight end from Notre Dame, raised concerns due to his injury history, including two ACL tears. Despite these concerns, Eliot Wolf, EVP of Player Personnel, reassured fans by stating they had no worries after reviewing Raridon's medicals. Raridon has the potential to be a significant asset for quarterback Drake Maye, given his previous performance in college.
