Patriots standout UDFA receiver breaks silence after promising offseason

New England Patriots undrafted rookie wide receiver Efton Chism III has been learning from some of the organization's greats, as he looks to stick on the 53-man roster.

Chism has been one of the surprising standouts in the spring practices. There was one OTAs practice where he caught 7-of-7 passes thrown in his direction during the team periods. He's a shifty receiver who is quick in and out of his routes to the point where he always seems to be open.

According to Chism, he has been studying former Patriots slot standouts, such as Julian Edelman and Wes Welker, to better prepare himself to contribute on offense.
