"The Patriots project to have Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte and DeMario Douglas as their starting receivers, with Mack Hollins and 2025 third-round pick Kyle Williams also locks as complementary options," Reiss writes. "So Chism has essentially forced the team's hand to keep six receivers and maybe even a seventh."

Undrafted rookie receiver Efton Chism continued his strong push to make the New England Patriots on Saturday with another solid effort in the team's preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings.

As the Patriots have a 19-year streak of an undrafted rookie making their 53-man roster on cutdown day, Chism is likely making the strongest case to help extend the streak to two decades. He certainly has the support of at least one player who helped contribute to that streak.
