Pats Pulpit
The New England Patriots’ offseason workout program is officially a wrap, which allows us some time to decompress and to reassess. And to ask one crucial question: where does Mike Vrabel’s roster stand at this specific point in time?
Granted, the following roster projection is based off of limited information — we only were able to watch three minicamp practices plus two additional sessions during organized team activities this spring — but it nonetheless provides a starting point with training camp on the horizon. It also shows where the outlook might have changed since the first Pats Pulpit roster projection back after the NFL Draft.
In (3): Drake Maye, Tommy DeVito, Behren Morton (R)
Out (0): —
The first two are locked into their respective roles on the team. Drake Maye is an MVP-caliber quarterback who should only get better in his second season working under offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, while Tommy DeVito is an experienced backup who impressed the team with his behind-the-scenes work in 2025.
The bigger question is the third-string spot occupied by rookie Behren Morton. This could just as easily be used for depth elsewhere on the roster, but for now we are including the seventh-round pick as a scout-team QB based on some promising moments this spring.
In (3): Rhamondre Stevenson, TreVeyon Henderson, Lan Larison
Out (3): Terrell Jennings, Jam Miller (R), Myles Montgomery (U-R)
As is the case at quarterback, there are no questions about what the top of the running back depth chart will look like. Rhamondre Stevenson is a well-established RB1 who the club is high on, while TreVeyon Henderson is an explosive playmaker who should make the famous second-year jump and improve both his vision, gap recognition and pass protection in 2026.
Behind the two, sophomore Lan Larison was the most active player during spring workouts. Larison is a change-of-pace back who also is in the mix on special teams, which gives him the nod over the other backs on the roster — all of whom are projected as practice squad candidates.
In (1): Reggie Gilliam
Out (1): Brock Lampe
With Jack Westover increasing his tight end reps again, the fullback competition is down to two players. Free agency pickup Reggie Gilliam is the out-and-out favorite to make the roster between him and Brock Lampe, even though the nature of the offseason workouts prevented either from showing off their skills as lead blockers and pass protectors.
In (6): A.J. Brown, Romeo Doubs, Mack Hollins, DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams, Efton Chism III
Out (6): Kayshon Boutte, Jeremiah Webb, Kyle Dixon (U-R), Nick DeGennaro (U-R), Jimmy Kibble (U-R), Cameron Dorner (U-R)
Probably no position on the Patriots’ roster has been in the headlines more this offseason than wide receiver, and it continues to be arguably the most intriguing on the team heading toward training camp. What the group will ultimately look like is anybody’s guess at this point in time, but from our...
