The team will keep either six or seven receivers. If everyone is healthy, roster locks should be Diggs, Mack Hollins, DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams, and Ja’Lynn Polk. That leaves Kendrick Bourne, Kayshon Boutte, Javon Baker, and Chism fighting for one or two spots.

The New England Patriots suffered through a brutal 2024 NFL season. Led by first-year head coach Jerod Mayo, the team never looked prepared and finished the year with a 4-13 record.

With mandatory minicamp in the books, the New England Patriots are officially on to Training Camp. The summer fun will kick off behind Gillette Stadium on July 23, the team announced Tuesday. The Patriots announced 12 dates fans will be welcomed to the practice field behind Gillette Stadium to watch Mike Vrabel run his first Training Camp as head coach in New England.

Chism was a favorite target of Maye, Joshua Dobbs and fellow undrafted rookie Ben Wooldridge during the spring, but his next test comes during training camp when the pads come on. Standout performances during unpadded, non-contact OTAs are not necessarily an indicator of future success.

When will the Duck Boats be needed next? How Hunter Dobbins can flip his story? And of course - Sports Jeopardy.

This spring, Chism emerged as the top undrafted player on the Patriots roster. After five open practices, this receiver from Eastern Washington led all Patriots pass catchers with 15 receptions. That performance earned praise from Maye and coach Mike Vrabel.
