Looking at how the new regime overseeing the Patriots has assembled the roster this offseason made one thing very clear: they are trying to put together a group that Josh McDaniels is known for elevating to new heights, while prioritizing the growth and development of Drake Maye in his second season.
That's what made the signing of UDFA fullback Brock Lampe make all the sense in the world, as the Patriots under McDaniels utilized the often overlooked position on offense. It was apparent he was likely making the team early on due to his immediate integration into practices since the spring, which was something to be excited about, given how beneficial a fullback can be for an offense.
