Raridon's dynamic skillset and 2025 production (32 rec, 482 yards) rare for Patriots rookie TEs.

The third-round rookie has a dynamic skillset the Patriots have not had from a rookie at the position in a long time. His 2025 college season was productive: 32 catches for 482 yards (both career highs), 15.1 yards per catch (second among Notre Dame receivers with double-digit targets), and 7 catches for 109 yards in his most productive game against N.C. State. He finished third on the team in both catches and receiving yards while demonstrating solid blocking ability.
