Patriots’ rookie continues to stand above the rest after impressive preseason debut

Multiple players on the New England Patriots had standout performances in the team’s dominant preseason win over the Washington Commanders, but rookie wide receiver Efton Chism III rose above the rest in his position room.

During Friday’s contest versus Washington, Chism led New England in targets (8), receptions (6), receiving yards (50), and also hauled in a touchdown from quarterback Ben Wooldridge. The undrafted free agent bolstered his case for a roster spot with an impressive debut, and he kept that momentum going during Sunday’s practice.

According to Andrew Callahan of The Boston Herald, Chism had another eventful day of practice on Sunday, leading the team in targets and snagging two touchdowns from quarterback Joshua Dobbs in seven-on-seven period.
