The Patriots will open training camp tomorrow once again with a loaded roaster primed to make another Super Bowl run.
It’s going to be hard enough for late-round draft picks and veteran players without a significant role to fight their way onto the 53-man roster. So is it even possible for an undrafted rookie free agent to make the cut?
Well, if the last 14 seasons are any indication, yes.
The Patriots have carried at least one undrafted rookie free agent on their Week 1 roster for 14 consecutive seasons. That’s tied for the third-longest active streak in the NFL behind only the Chargers (21 seasons) and Colts (19 seasons).
