From the article

Van Vooren's athleticism was his best attribute in college, and he was used accordingly at St. Norbert. The Patriots will likely also try to make use of it this summer, potentially employing him as a rotational flex tight end capable of filling multiple spots in the lineup.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Van Vooren is a raw camp body competing for practice squad consideration behind Henry and Raridon.

Van Vooren joined the Patriots as a camp body and practice squad candidate on a one-year, non-guaranteed $885,000 minimum deal. The source projects his 2026 role as a rotational flex tight end capable of filling multiple spots in the lineup, with potential to compete for a backup inline/H-back role if he develops. However, his roster outlook is described as 'quite bleak' given his underdeveloped status, limited football experience (only 22 Division III games before 2025), and late arrival before training camp; other tight ends on the roster are in better position to fill the depth void behind Hunter Henry and Eli Raridon.
