The Patriots have an engaging wide receiver competition this summer with 12 players vying for spots. The locks include Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and rookie Kyle Williams, while Kendrick Bourne and DeMario Douglas are less certain. Efton Chism III, a UDFA receiver, gained significant attention for his performances during OTAs and minicamps. His potential spot on the 53-man roster is debated, especially as the team attempts to avoid losing him to another franchise. This evaluation may lead to the exclusion of 2024 draft picks like Javon Baker and Ja'Lynn Polk.
Roster battles are always one of the most exciting aspects of any training camp, and the Patriots will have several to pay close attention to this summer.
The team currently rosters 12 receivers with only a few easily deemed locks for the 2025 season: Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and rookie Kyle Williams.
His rise to the roster is projected to continue throughout training camp and the preseason, so much so that in the latest roster prediction, Chism makes the cut, while other notable names do not.
The Patriots avoid that possibility in Jordy McElroy of Patriots Wire's latest roster prediction, as he has Chism making the team over players like Javon Baker and Ja'Lynn Polk.
