After appearing to hit it out of the park in this year's draft, early signs indicated the Patriots might have lucked out with some undrafted free agents, as well. That looked to be the case with training camp standouts fullback Brock Lampe and running back Lan Larison, only for the pair to suffer season-ending injuries before taking the field this fall.
The most notable of all has been preseason superstar receiver Efton Chism III, who surprisingly made the 53-man roster for the season and could be a secret weapon for Drake Maye at some point during the year.
