From the article

The Patriots added Arkin as a rookie free agent after the draft, and just three months later he is getting reps with the first-team offense. He saw action as a blocking tight end, and not just that: with Reggie Gilliam a surprise absentee, Arkin also lined up as a fullback. In addition, he practiced some long-snapping alongside Julian Ashby.

Rookie free agent Arkin getting first-team reps as TE, fullback, and long-snapper.

Arkin, a rookie free agent added after the draft, is getting reps with the first-team offense just three months after signing; he saw action as a blocking tight end and also lined up as a fullback with Reggie Gilliam absent, and practiced long-snapping alongside Julian Ashby, showing versatility that appears to be a step in the right direction for the 23-year-old.
