"Eli Raridon has all the traits of what the Patriots need in a tight end. He stands at over 6-foot-6 and possesses elite athleticism to pair with long arms and big hands, but the problem is that Raridon has a very limited résumé. Although he improved each year, he still left Notre Dame with career totals of just 48 catches for 623 yards and 3 touchdowns."
"Raridon can block in the run game and could blossom with the right coach. His inexperience is certainly something to keep in mind, and it will likely play a role in what we see from him early on."
Eli Raridon was selected by the Patriots as their only third-round pick, adding a tight end to their roster. He will work behind Hunter Henry, who is expected to be the starting tight end. Raridon has faced injury challenges, including two ACL tears, which contributed to his draft position. Analysts believe he has significant potential, and while he may not meet every requirement for the Patriots' tight end role, he possesses the traits needed to develop into a valuable player.
