Patriots 53-man roster projection 1.0: Javon Baker headlines wide receiver surprises
Briefly

With the Patriots training camp underway, a projection for the 53-man roster is being made. At quarterback, the likely choices are Drake Maye and backup Joshua Dobbs. Four running backs are expected, with the inclusion of Lan Larison due to an injury in the fullback position. The wide receiver lineup is primarily secure, featuring Kayshon Boutte and Mack Hollins, while Javon Baker is anticipated to secure the final spot based on his special teams performance. Overall, decisions hinge on training camp performance and positional needs.
Joshua Dobbs is almost certainly going to be the backup quarterback behind Drake Maye, with Ben Wooldridge likely remaining on the practice squad as a scout team QB.
With the undrafted rookie fullback out for the season, the Patriots can afford to keep another back with plus receiving upside in Lan Larison.
Kayshon Boutte has established chemistry with Drake Maye, while Mack Hollins has been brought in for a specific role that others on the roster don't fit.
Javon Baker is projected to take the final wide receiver spot due to his play on special teams, despite competition.
