Chism projects as versatile depth piece; emerging special teams contributor.

Efton Chism III spent his first NFL season as an emergency option on offense and never really emerged as an impact player on special teams either. That might change in 2026. While not pushing any of the starters, he has shown himself a versatile depth piece with a "whatever it takes" attitude. He is a crafty player who has started getting practice reps as the personal protector on the punt team. The former undrafted free agent could become a more valuable piece of the operation this year.
