Patriots Rookie Endorses Training with Former Coach

Last month, former NFL receiver Michael Bumpus — high school coach of New England Patriots’ receiver Efton Chism III — declared the team would be “freaking silly” if they failed to find a spot for the undrafted rookie on their initial 53-man roster.

As July begins, Chism is reciprocating Bumpus’ compliments by providing a ringing endorsement for the training program which may help him prove his case beyond a reasonable doubt.

The Patriots got themselves a GEM with @EftonChism. We’ve been in lab since he was in 6th grade.
