"Raridon is a 6-foot-7-inch, 251-pound tight end. He has a 36-inch vertical leap and ran a 4.62 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine."
"The Patriots needed to bolster their tight end depth after losing Austin Hooper in free-agency. Hunter Henry will turn 32 in December."
"With his size and skill-set, he has shown ability to make contested catches. Being able to help in all phases of the game could go a long way for Raridon in New England."
Eli Raridon, a 6-foot-7-inch, 251-pound tight end from Notre Dame, was selected by the New England Patriots with the No. 95 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. This marked the Patriots' first pick without trading up after previous trades for other players. Raridon, known for his athleticism with a 36-inch vertical leap and a 4.62 40-yard dash, aims to bolster the team's tight end position following the loss of Austin Hooper. His blocking ability will be crucial for his development as a three-down player in the NFL.
