Patriots training camp preview: Tight end depth a question mark
Briefly

New England Patriots rookies and veterans will report to training camp, beginning their first practice on July 23. The team's tight end position is highlighted by Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper, who were productive last season. They had 113 receptions and 1,170 receiving yards collectively. The team added C.J. Dippre and Gee Scott Jr. as intriguing undrafted free agents. The potential return of the fullback position is also noted, with Brock Lampe signed. The question remains if any tight end will secure the TE3 role as roster decisions approach.
Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper return as the Patriots top tight end duo in 2025 after the pair was one of the more productive tandems in football last season.
The veterans piled up the fifth most receptions (113) and sixth most receiving yards (1,170) among tight ends as they became reliable targets for Drake Maye.
New England waited until undrafted free agency to continue to add to their tight end room, signing a pair of intriguing skillsets in blocking threat C.J. Dippre and former highly touted wide receiver recruit Gee Scott Jr.
The Patriots signed UDFA Brock Lampe as the lone traditional fullback on the roster and based off his involvement in the spring, Lampe seems on track to earn a roster spot.
