The New England Patriots have a storied tradition of undrafted free agents making their initial 53-man roster, which had a brief interruption before safety Dell Pettus reestablished the trend. This year, Efton Chism III, a standout wide receiver from Eastern Washington, is a prime candidate for this underdog narrative. Chism has broken records and showcased his skills as an elusive slot receiver. With a competitive contract featuring substantial guarantees, he represents a significant opportunity for the Patriots, reflecting the team's commitment to developing talent without draft capital.
The Patriots had a streak of 19 years of undrafted free agents making the 53-man roster, recently revived by safety Dell Pettus and potential rookie Efton Chism III.
Chism is noted for breaking Cooper Kupp's FCS record with a catch in 53 straight games, demonstrating his performance potential as a slot receiver.
