Pats Pulpit on Cameron Latu

Positioned for depth chart promotion to TE3 role, but team's prior preference for Arkin signals caution.

With Tanner Arkin waived, the natural follow-up move would be to bump Latu up the depth chart and into a more expansive role as a third tight end and blocking option. However, the fact that Arkin played over him can be interpreted as the team not fully trusting Latu in such a role, creating uncertainty about whether the Patriots will actually promote him or instead use Caleb Lomu as a sixth lineman and de facto blocking tight end.
