From the article

With Hill out for the year due to injury, however, his outlook might have changed and he could see serious action as New England's TE2 this year. After all, he is a true Y-tight end who has the versatile skillset to help the team as a receiver and a blocker.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Raridon elevated to TE2 role after Hill injury; serious 2026 action expected.

Raridon projects as New England's TE2 in 2026 after initially being viewed as a top-three option at the position. With veteran Julian Hill out for the year due to injury, his outlook has improved and he could see serious action as a depth player/role player capable of contributing in a variety of packages as both a receiver and blocker; he is the highest-upside tight end on the team not named Hunter Henry and projects as the primary backup behind team captain Hunter Henry.
