Brown complimented Raridon’s long speed, athleticism and acceleration, while noting that he has “pretty good ball skills.” Brown also believes that there is “so much more to kind of be captured from his college tape.”

Raridon has been a dynasty riser in rookie drafts, and the Patriots recently placed TE Julian Hill (knee) on season-ending IR. Hill’s injury opens the door for Raridon to immediately compete for the TE2 role this season and potentially contribute to the Patriots’ offense down the stretch. He is the type of rookie who transitions from dynasty darling to home league sleeper as the summer goes along.
