Mike Vrabel\u2019s group never trailed and put together elite outings on both sides of the ball.<\/p>\n<p>With the first preseason game in the books, the Boston Herald\u2019s Andrew Callahan decided to reveal his latest 53-man roster projection, and a recent Patriots draft pick was noticeably absent from the prediction.<\/p>\n<p>Callahan predicts wide receiver Javon Baker will miss New England\u2019s initial 53-man roster. Baker was a fourth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and played just 11 games during his rookie season with one reception for 12 yards.<\/p>\n<p>Kendrick Bourne and Efton Chism III make the cut over Baker in Callahan\u2019s projection.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bostonherald.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PATRIOTSCAMPDAYTWOms13.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"NFL Notes: Predicting the Patriots' 53-man roster after preseason Week 1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the end, the Patriots keep Bourne \u2014 presently injured and squarely on the roster bubble \u2014 because he is one of their best 53 players regardless of position,\u201d Callahan wrote. \u201cThe Pats need talent. Bourne has system experience and is a positive influence on the locker room.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBourne can also buy time until Chism III is ready to take the field. The undrafted slot was lauded by coach Mike Vrabel for his play strength after Friday\u2019s preseason opener, when he had a game-high six catches for 50 yards and a touchdown. Chism was the last player included in this projection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bostonherald.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/patsms13_a43349.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Patriots post-minicamp 53-man roster projection \u2013 Boston Herald\" \/><\/p>\n<p>During Friday\u2019s contest versus Washington, Baker failed to tally a reception on two targets. However, the 23-year-old did play well on special teams and drew some praise from Vrabel after the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust happy for Javon just being able to go out there and contribute,\u201d Vrabel said of Baker\u2019s special teams contributions on Friday. \u201cWhen you do those things, your teammates get excited. Hopefully his confidence continues to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Baker may not post prolific receiving numbers in the preseason, but if the UCF product continues to excel on special teams, he will have a strong case to make the roster. The 23-year-old posted two tackles on special teams in the preseason opener.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent Patriots draft pick is predicted to miss the cut in a latest 53-man roster projection from a team reporter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":30096,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30095","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-england-patriots"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
