Efton Chism III Catches Six Passes in Preseason Opener
New England Patriots wide receiver Efton Chism III caught six of his eight targets for 50 yards and a touchdown during Friday's preseason opener against the Washington Commanders. He also returned a punt for 11 yards. We had heard a lot about Chism's talent and ability through training camp so far, but it was even more exciting to see him produce in a game. The 23-year-old Eastern Washington product is an underdog story after going undrafted this past spring. He signed with the Patriots as an undrafted free agent and, despite facing an uphill battle, has put himself in the mix for a roster spot. He still has work to do in order to make the team, but pacing the team's receivers on Friday was a great place to start. Should Chism survive final cuts at the end of the preseason, he'd fill a back-end depth role in New England and would struggle to carve out a role for fantasy football purposes.
