Pats Pulpit on Eli Raridon
From the article
Through seven training camp practices, it's been hard to miss rookie tight end Eli Raridon. Raridon has been active as a pass catcher this summer, often threatening New England's up the seam and running away from second-level defenders across the field.
STACKED’s take
Raridon's hot start in camp trending toward earning a rookie role behind Henry.
Rookie tight end Raridon has impressed early in training camp as a pass catcher, regularly working with Drake Maye and the first-team offense despite being slotted behind veteran Hunter Henry on the depth chart. Through seven practices, Raridon has been active running seams and separating from second-level defenders, catching multiple passes in 7-on-7s including a touchdown in the corner of the end zone. Maye praised his intelligence, athleticism, and work ethic, noting he understands how to play the tight end position and is making plays on the football. Raridon's emergence early in camp has him trending toward earning a role as a rookie after a quiet spring and the season-ending injury to veteran free-agent addition Julian Hill.
