The season-ending injury suffered by free agency acquisition Julian Hill changed the Patriots' tight end room and robbed them of their designated blocking tight end. Arkin, however, appears to have picked up the slack and therefore positioned himself well in the race for a roster spot.

Hill's injury opens path for Arkin to secure Patriots roster spot as blocking TE.

Has positioned himself well in the race for a roster spot after the season-ending injury to free agency acquisition Julian Hill, who was the Patriots' designated blocking tight end. Does not look like a typical UDFA and has regularly repped with starters since the beginning of training camp, making him a legitimate candidate to make the team as a rookie free agent.
