He projects mostly as a rotational backup behind Hunter Henry and complementary option next to rookie Eli Raridon... the best case for his development would be to become a rotational second or third option similar to how the Patriots would have used the aforementioned Julian Hill.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Dippre projects as blocking-focused rotational backup behind Henry and Raridon.

Dippre projects as a rotational backup behind Hunter Henry and complementary option next to rookie Eli Raridon in 2026, continuing his primary role as an in-line blocking tight end from his rookie season. His receiving upside appears limited despite decent size and straight-line speed; his best-case development path is becoming a rotational second or third option similar to how the Patriots would have used Julian Hill, earning his roster spot through blocking prowess rather than receiving production.
