Pats Pulpit on Efton Chism

Chism projects as versatile rotational backup behind Doubs and Douglas in 2026.

Chism is built as a versatile Z/F receiver rather than a pure slot option; he is more Julian Edelman than Danny Amendola, capable of lining up in the slot and split wide. He projects as a rotational backup behind Romeo Doubs (Z) and DeMario Douglas (F), with the source noting the Patriots clearly like what he offers and that he fits Josh McDaniels' inside receiver archetype. The source leans toward him making the roster in a reserve role again in 2026.
