From the article

Bringing only limited football experience to New England, Van Vooren remains a raw player even at age 25 who has yet to perform up to his athletic abilities in the NFL. Will he ever do so? That's the big question, but with some more time in a pro-level program he could find himself competing for a role as a backup inline/H-back-type player.

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Van Vooren's NFL future hinges on translating college athleticism into pro-level technical skills.

The source assesses Van Vooren's growth potential as dependent on developing his raw skill set. At age 25 with only limited football experience, he remains underdeveloped and has yet to perform up to his athletic abilities in the NFL. With more time in a pro-level program, he could compete for a backup inline/H-back role, but the source frames this as an open question: 'Will he ever do so?' His 2026 outlook centers on proving himself worthy of practice squad development rather than pushing for an active roster spot.
