Patriots WR Trying to Follow Legends' Footsteps

Perhaps the rookie generating the most buzz for the New England Patriots this offseason is one they didn't even draft: wide receiver Efton Chism III.

Yes, the Patriots selected fellow receiver Kyle Williams in the third round, and while many are expecting Williams to be a stud, it's Chism that is reminding New England fans of past Pats legends.

A dynamic slot receiver who played his collegiate football at Eastern Washington, the 5-foot-10 Chism has already drawn comparisons to Julian Edelman, Wes Welker and Danny Amendola and not surprisingly, he is already taking notes watching film of the former Patriots playmakers.
