Pats Pulpit on Mitch Van Vooren
From the article
While signing tight end Mitch Van Vooren and linebacker Riley Wilson, and waiving fullback Brock Lampe... Van Vooren brings an intriguing athletic background to the NFL regardless of what his testing numbers would have shown. Before focusing on football, after all, the 6-foot-5, 255-pounder was a standout track athlete.
STACKED’s take
Van Vooren signed as Patriots tight end depth; intriguing track athlete profile.
Signed by the Patriots as tight end depth ahead of training camp; the source notes tight end was specifically mentioned by head coach Mike Vrabel as a position that could see further talent infusion. Van Vooren brings an intriguing athletic background despite not being invited to the Scouting Combine: the 6-foot-5, 255-pounder was a standout track athlete who set school records in the 400-meter hurdles at both St. Norbert and Marquette, was voted to the All-Big East Outdoor team in 2022, and named first-team All-American in 2023. He enters as a depth piece and possible camp body, giving the Patriots extra options to evaluate with over a month until the 53-man roster deadline.
