Patriots roster dark horse #1 – Tyler Gaffney
Gaffney has been one of the more heartwarming stories of Patriots preseason, and it’s because he’s had such rotten luck the past two seasons. Since the Carolina Panthers drafted Gaffney out of Stanford a few years back, injuries have hindered him from emerging out of August. That hasn’t been the case this season; Gaffney has taken the opportunity by the horns, and as a result, he is on the final lap for a spot on the Patriots roster.
To make the final hurdle, Gaffney must show well in the final preseason game.
