Bill Belichick’s era with the Patriots featured significant success with undrafted players making the roster. WR Efton Chism III is on track to continue that trend, showcasing strong performance despite RB Lan Larison's injury. With Chism, Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas, and Kyle Williams likely securing roster spots, competition intensifies for remaining positions among receivers. Javon Baker and Kayshon Boutte stand out as leading candidates for these open slots. The Patriots under Josh McDaniels historically carry multiple receivers, increasing the urgency for success among hopefuls before the final preseason game.
Throughout Bill Belichick's tenure in New England, the Patriots were consistently one of the few teams that had an undrafted player make the roster, turning them into stars.
WR Efton Chism III and RB Lan Larison maintained their spots atop the leaderboard, but Larison was placed on injured reserve, ending his season.
Chism has raised his stock during practice and preseason games, presumably securing a spot on the team's offense for the upcoming season.
The Patriots' roster locks at wide receiver appear to be Chism, Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas, and Kyle Williams, leaving at least two spots up for grab.
