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.
