FOXBORO — Jacob Hollister answered questions by the back of the locker room at Gillette Stadium yesterday with a smile on his face, and for good reason.
The undrafted rookie free agent made the Patriots’ 53-man roster, beating out James O’Shaughnessy in a close race for the third tight end spot.
However, Hollister knows his work has just begun.
“It’s just working every day,” he said, “just kind of keeping the same mindset and just grinding it out with my teammates.”
That attitude has served him well so far, but it’s not just been his approach that earned him the spot.
