Which UDFAs will make the Patriots' roster? Ranking the chances of the 17 signings
The start of Mike Vrabel's tenure with the New England Patriots came with the promise of change. Four months later, the roster looks quite a bit different. They were arguably the most active team in the NFL in free agency, overhauling the defense. They made 11 draft picks. Now they're on the verge of adding 17 undrafted free agents to provide competition this spring and summer. Advertisement No organization has a track record of keeping undrafted players quite like the Patriots, who have had a UDFA make the initial 53-man roster in 20 of the last 21 years. To gauge who could follow in those players' footsteps, let's rank the likelihood of each UDFA making the team from most to least likely. The Patriots signed two athletic tight ends after the draft, and the guess here is one of them will make the roster. For now, we're giving Dippre the edge because he's a bit bigger and more athletic than Gee Scott. He's also a good blocker, which the Patriots could use, given that Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper are both good pass catchers, and he played 529 special teams snaps in college. That's important when discussing undrafted players trying to make the team. The early (and maybe simple) comp in looking at Larison's testing numbers is Rex Burkhead. They're similar sizes, though Larison is a bit faster and a bit less explosive. Larison put up massive numbers at the FCS level (2,387 all-purpose yards in 2024). But since the Patriots have three running backs safely ahead of him and could end up keeping a fullback (see below), Larison will need a strong preseason to make the team. Still, the team clearly sees promise in him, considering they gave him an astounding $175,000 in guaranteed money. Lan Larison is off to the races 🏃♂️💨 for a 75-yard touchdown run. 48-10 Aggies. 4Q | 14:39. #GoAgs — UC Davis Football (@UCDfootball) October 22, 2022 OK, this one is less about the athlete Lampe is (just OK for the position) and more because he's the only fullback on the projected 90-man roster. Vrabel has a history of using fullbacks, so it won't be surprising if he keeps one in New England. So far, all signs are pointing to Lampe being that guy. Plus, Lampe contributed on special teams in college. Advertisement Ponder is undersized for an edge rusher, but he's an incredibly gifted athlete for the position. He posted remarkable testing numbers, including a 41-inch vertical leap, an 11-foot broad jump and a 4.63-second 40. He projects as a speedy edge rusher who could see action in obvious passing situations but is too light to play against the run. Still, the athletic profile offers promise if the Pats can refine his pass-rushing skills. SIGNED!! ✍️ Elijah Ponder is headed to New England to play for the 6x Super Bowl champs! 🙌 🔥#RideHigh — Cal Poly Football (@calpolyfootball) April 27, 2025 Scott was a big-time wide receiver recruit out of high school but switched to tight end after the 2020 season. He's a bit undersized for an NFL tight end (6-foot-3, 238 pounds) and is more of a pass-catching option, which the Pats don't need as much from their No. 3 at the position. He only had one full season as a starter, which might've diminished his draft stock, but Ritzie is a great athlete for the position, posting a 35 1/2-inch vertical and running a 5.00-second 40 despite being 294 pounds. That makes him a touch undersized for a defensive tackle, but the athletic profile suggests there's upside here. After starting his career at Fresno State, Wooldridge transferred to Louisiana-Lafayette and became a three-year starter. His completion percentage shot up last season from 57 percent in 2022 to 66 percent. For now, he's one of only three quarterbacks on the roster, which ups his chances of making the team. The 5-foot-10 cornerback ran a 4.44-second 40, but the rest of his athletic profile isn't great, as he lacks agility, explosiveness and strength. Still, the Patriots could use a cornerback to step up behind Marcus Jones, so Crossley has a shot. Advertisement The Patriots' group of guards is already a bit crowded, which hurts Conley's chances. But he's a tough lineman (60 games played at BC across multiple positions) with good size (6-foot-7, 330 pounds), and those kinds of players tend to find their way at least onto the practice squad. Riley transferred to FSU after four years at Auburn and finished with the fourth-most tackles on the team last season. He's a bit light for a linebacker (228 pounds), so if he's going to make the team, it's likely going to come from carving out a role on special teams. His highlight reel is fun to watch because he made tacklers miss with ease. But that won't be as easy in the NFL as it was in the FCS, and Chism's 4.71-second 40 won't help. He'll need to impress offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels as a shifty slot receiver, though he's more likely to be headed to the practice squad in case Demario Douglas gets injured. .@EWUFootball WR Efton Chism had a strong pro Day in the drills that matter/highlight what he'll do in the NFL. Outstanding short shuttle (4.06) and three cone (6.77). Here's him as compared to Trent Taylor (5th round pick), Jeremy Kerley (5th round), and Cooper Kupp (for fun)… — Eric Galko (@EricGalko) March 21, 2025 It's going to be difficult for either of the Patriots' UDFA safety signings to make the team, given the logjam ahead of them. Minkins is a better athlete than Polk, so we're giving him the nod at this point. He's a downhill, hard-hitting safety who forced four fumbles and notched a pair of sacks last season. Birdow is an athletic and raw offensive lineman who started his career at defensive tackle. But he put himself on NFL radars with an impressive pro day, which included a 32-inch vertical leap. The path is never easy for any undrafted receiver, and it may be difficult for Blankumsee, considering he'd likely have to beat out three of Kendrick Bourne, Kayshon Boutte, Ja'Lynn Polk and Javon Baker. Blankumsee's stats dipped a bit from his junior (901 yards) to senior year (677 yards), which didn't help his draft prospects. Advertisement Pene only made four starts during his four-year collegiate career, but he has an interesting background as a native of France who grew up in Connecticut. He didn't get any guaranteed money in his deal with the Patriots. Webb didn't do any athletic testing before the draft, which muddies his outlook, but he caught 36 passes for 649 yards and five touchdowns last season. (Photo of CJ Dippre: Kevin C.

Durbin retirement tees up competitive Senate primary in Illinois
Sen. Dick Durbin's (D-Ill.) decision not to seek a sixth term in the Senate is expected to tee up a spirited Democratic primary to replace him next year. Durbin, the No. 2 Senate Democrat who has long served as a member of Senate Democratic leadership and is the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, announced Wednesday in a video he will retire after his current term in office, saying it was 'time to pass the torch.' Democrats are now bracing for a crowded field to succeed the 80-year-old senator, with at least four candidates hinting at — or being floated for — possible bids. 'I think Illinois voters have a blessing of riches because there are just so many talented people,' said Martha McKenna, a Democratic strategist who's long worked with the Senate Democrats' campaign arm. Durbin became the fourth Senate Democrat to announce he will forgo another term in the upper chamber, joining retiring Sens. Gary Peters (Mich.), Tina Smith (Minn.) and Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.). In recent months, there had been growing speculation over whether Durbin, who entered the Senate in 1997 and has been in Congress since 1983, would vie for a sixth term. Questions around his future became particularly heightened earlier this month, when his campaign reported it had raised roughly $42,000 between January and March of this year — a remarkably small sum for one of the Senate's most influential members. Durbin put those questions to rest Wednesday, though he vowed in his video he would 'do everything in my power to fight for Illinois and the future of our country every day of my remaining time in the Senate.' Now, all eyes are turning to handful of Democrats who are likely to mount bids for Durbin's seat: Illinois Reps. Robin Kelly, Raja Krishnamoorthi and Lauren Underwood, in addition to state Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton. Those Democrats put out statements lauding Durbin, though they did not confirm their next steps. A source in Illinois told The Hill that Krishnamoorthi, who's sitting on a $19.4 million campaign bank account, is 'widely expected to run.' Democratic strategists say each of them would be a formidable contender for the Senate seat. Chicago-based strategist Kevin Lampe noted Kelly has a long track record in Illinois government and represents a district that's a unique mixture of rural, suburban and urban communities. Lampe said Krishnamoorthi was a 'great campaigner,' referencing his bid for state comptroller, which he narrowly lost in 2010. The Chicago strategist pointed out Underwood's ability to win Illinois's competitive 14th District, located west of Chicago, while adding that Stratton had two statewide wins under her belt. Lampe suggested Illinois Treasurer Michael Frerichs (D) could also be a strong candidate, too. Still, Lampe said he believed the early front-runner might be Kelly. She's someone 'who I've seen since she ran for state rep who is … definitely a workhorse. She is aggressive in her district about getting out there and meeting people and talking to people,' he said. 'I think it will be a spirited and hard-fought race because, you know, all four of them have a strong record of accomplishment. They each have a vision for the state,' McKenna added of the potential primary field. Some Republicans may also be hinting at potential interest. Rep. Darin LaHood (R-Ill.) said in a statement posted on the social platform X that the senator's retirement 'was long overdue.' 'I will work with Illinoisans from across the state to ensure our next U.S. Senator will work with President Trump to lower inflation, cut taxes, secure our border, and protect our streets and families,' he added. Still, the climb for Republicans in Illinois will be steep — the last time the Prairie State elected a Senate Republican was in 2010, when former Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) defeated Alexi Giannoulias. One question looming over the race is whether Gov. JB Pritzker (D) weighs in on the Senate primary. Politico reported last month that Stratton has said she's privately received the backing of the Democratic governor, though a person close to the governor's political team told the news outlet, 'We're not going to engage with hypotheticals for a seat that's not even open.' 'Right now, the governor thanks Sen. Durbin for his service and will wait for candidates who are considering entering the race to make their own announcements,' Jordan Abudayyeh, a member of Pritzker's political team, told The Hill when asked about Pritzker's thinking. Durbin's retirement comes amid a broader conversation within the party about age and the next generation of Democratic leaders, particularly as a handful of younger candidates have announced primary bids to older incumbents, like Reps. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) and Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). While some younger candidates and members of the party are frustrated with current leadership in the House, that same dynamic is not playing out — at least not as publicly — in the Senate with Democratic retirements. McKenna said there's also a notable split screen between how members of the parties are responding to key Senate retirements. 'I am just struck at the difference between how the candidates who are running to replace [Sen. Mitch] McConnell are acting vs. what I think will happen with Durbin,' said McKenna. 'All of these candidates who want to run for Senate will embrace him, embrace his legacy, will shine a bright light, applauding him for his work on behalf of Illinois,' she explained of Durbin. But she said the same isn't holding true as former Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron (R) and Rep. Andy Barr (R-Ky.) look to replace McConnell, a former Senate majority leader. 'It was like an abrupt difference when you look at how McConnell's retirement was received in Kentucky, how the candidates in the primary — Republican primary — are distancing themselves from him, it will be the exact opposite in Illinois, where I think people running and candidates in general will embrace that Durbin legacy,' she said.

Social Media Profiles Could Be Needed To Get A Green Card
The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will begin to require that those applying for asylum in the country, permanent residency or even naturalization provide their social media handles. The move came after President Donald Trump issued an executive order earlier this month as part of an effort to vet those who might harbor anti-American sentiments. The Department of Homeland Security has since issued a 60-day notice for public commentary on Trump's order titled "Protecting the United States from Foreign Terrorists and Other National Security and Public Safety Threats." As The Associated Press reported, it further called for "uniform vetting standards," which would collect the social media handles and the platforms that are used. It would not seek passwords or access to the accounts, but the handles would be enough for immigration officials to seek any "harmful anti-American ideologies." This policy isn't new, however, even if this is being more direct about its intent. Social media activity has been used before as part of the immigration process. "It's worth noting that the State Department has been requiring social media handles for visa applications since 2019, so this is a bipartisan procedure," explained Dr. Matt Schmidt, professor of national security and political science at the Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Sciences at the University of New Haven. "The concern is that this new rule would be imposing a free-speech burden on people already in the country legally," added Schmidt. "Currently, USCIS screens online activity and accesses most public social media accounts," added Dr. Cliff Lampe, professor of information and associate dean in the School of Information at the University of Michigan. "However, previously this information has been used for a limited set of reasons—fraud, national security risks, criminal backgrounds, and things like proof of a marriage. Collecting handles could be just a way to make that search easier, but if the intention is to screen applicants for what they say in social media in terms of their personal beliefs, that would be new ground and unprecedented," said Lampe. Now that the policy is known, it is possible, even likely some users will respond accordingly – and try to curry favor with the administration. "The likely reaction that people would have is to stop using social media, or only posting those things that would appeal to the 'least common denominator,' Lampe suggested. Schmidt warned that in addition to the "chilling effect" this move could have on online speech, it probably will lead to a "proliferation of secondary handles to give to authorities that are scrubbed of any potentially problematic content." According to data from Smart Insights, roughly 3.4 billion people, or 36.1% of the global population, don't use social media. Those individuals could face an extra scrutiny as a result. "It could be that if a person doesn't use social media, that could be considered suspicious, or a form of dissembling," said Lampe. "How would one tell if a person is really an abstainer from social media, or not honestly reporting their accounts," he continued. "Depending on how strictly they police that, it could lead to significant enforcement work, or broad interpretations of social media use or non-use." Given all of these issues, the question still is whether anything meaningful can be gathered by going through old social media posts. "Scanning social media has had mixed results. People know social media is scanned, so many either don't use it, or use it under a false identity so what they say and do can't be traced back to them," said technology industry analyst Rob Enderle of the Enderle Group. "People can also have posts show up in their feed that they neither asked for nor approved of, and social media security hasn't been great, so folks have had their IDs and passwords stolen and false posts made in their names." Social media could bring to light some anti-American sentiment, but that is far from the norm. "In most cases, Social Media scans after the fact have at times provided motives for crimes, but more with citizens than with foreigners," added Enderle. "While scanning social media can grant insights into the individual's interests and mindset, they can also create false impressions, so as part of an overall background check, they have value, but alone they have a high probability of creating a false impression, positive or negative."

Labrador Indigenous leaders react to Premier Andrew Furey's resignation
Premier Andrew Furey and Innu Nation Grand Chief Simon Pokue sign a memorandum of understanding in December, 2024. (Paul Daly/The Canadian Press) Some say he strengthened ties with Indigenous groups, while others feel the provincial government overlooked their communities. His effort toward reconciliation was met with both gratitude and frustration. But Premier Andrew Furey's resignation took them all by surprise. While Furey finds his way back to the surgery room, Labrador Indigenous leaders are reflecting on his time in office — his accomplishments, his shortcomings, and what they hope to see from the next leader. 'Set back any progress' Nunatsiavut government President Johannes Lampe reflected on his relationship with Furey, calling it "for the most part very positive." "He was approachable, easy to communicate with and willing to listen," Lampe said. "We met over the years when he was premier. And I do believe that he was committed to building a strong relationship with the Nunatsiavut government and to reconciliation." But Lampe was critical of Furey's stance on the NunatuKavut Community Council (NCC), which represents 6,000 self-identifying Inuit in south and central Labrador. Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami — the national organization representing Inuit across Canada, including Inuit in northern Labrador — does not recognize NCC as an Indigenous group, and neither does Nunatsiavut or the Innu Nation, who say NCC is a settler organization engaging in Inuit identity theft. "Premier Furey was well aware of our concerns, yet he continued to support having a member of the NCC serve as the minister responsible for Indigenous affairs," Lampe said, referring to Cartwright-L'Anse au Clair MHA Lisa Dempster. "And he also continued to engage with the NCC as if it were an Indigenous collective, which it isn't." Nunatsiavut President Johannes Lampe says Furey was committed to building a strong relationship with Nunatsiavut, but takes issue with Furey's stance on NunatuKavut. (Hamlin Lampe) Lampe says Furey's approach to the NCC "set back any progress that had been made in recent years toward reconciliation." Despite these disagreements, Lampe describes Furey as "genuine" and someone who "truly wanted to make a difference." He pointed to Furey's visits to Nunatsiavut communities, particularly his presence during the apology to residential school survivors, as moments of sincerity. "I truly appreciate having him come and see the situations of Labrador Inuit in our Nunatsiavut communities," Lampe said. "But having done that, you know, I would have liked to see some action taken after the apologies were made to Labrador Inuit in Nunatsiavut communities." 'An exceptional human being and an exceptional premier' That apology tour began in southern Labrador, in an area claimed by NunatuKavut. The group's president, Todd Russell, said he was shocked by Furey's decision to step down. Russell described Furey's relationship with NCC as "respectful, open, inclusive" and said he made efforts to understand their history. "He treated us with respect and equity around the table. He really fought to understand where we were coming from, who we are, our history, and that was a quality about Premier Furey that I so appreciated," Russell said. NunatuKavut Community Council President Todd Russell thanked Furey for making a sincere apology in 2024. (Jon Gaudi/CBC) Furey made an official apology to residential school survivors in Cartwright, a moment that Russell said was "indicative of the type of person he is and the leadership." "That was somewhat controversial for some others, but he stuck to his promises and his commitments and he saw it through with integrity," he said. 'We feel like we were forgotten' In Hopedale, AngajukKâk Marjorie Flowers was also surprised by the resignation, but was less positive about Furey's tenure, saying people in her community often felt neglected. "I don't mean to sound negative, but sometimes we here on the north coast feel like we were forgotten," Flowers said. "We will remember that he did come and make the apology for the residential schools. And that's actually the only time that we've ever seen the premier here in our community." Nunatsiavut President Johannes Lampe, left, and NunatuKavut President Todd Russell at a Muskrat Falls demonstration on the steps of the Confederation Building in St. John's on Oct. 25, 2016. (Paul Daly/The Canadian Press) Despite her criticisms, Flowers said Furey came across as "a very pleasant man" and his visit for the residential school apology was meaningful to some people there. However, she said a visit alone was not enough to address the deeper concerns of people in her community. Flowers criticized Furey's government for consulting communities only after the government had made decisions. "That to me is not a good relation," she said. 'One of the best premiers we've had in Newfoundland and Labrador' Former Labrador MP and Innu Nation land claims advisor Peter Penashue, who has worked closely with Innu leadership, calls Furey "one of the best premiers we've had in Newfoundland and Labrador." Penashue praised Furey for his willingness to engage with Indigenous leaders and listen to concerns. "On a human level, he's a very fine gentleman," he said. "You can sense he cares about the people, he cares about what's happening in Newfoundland and Labrador, and he cares about what happens in the future of this province." Peter Penashue says Furey cares about people and the future of Newfoundland and Labrador. (Ariana Kelland/CBC) One moment that stands out, Penashue says, was a meeting in Natuashish where Furey committed to resolving long-standing concerns related to Muskrat Falls rate mitigation. Penashue said the provincial government had previously altered the agreement, reducing revenue for the Innu. The Innu Nation sued over the deal, and eventually reached a tentative deal with the province outside of court. "[Furey] just said, 'We're going to resolve this issue' — and he did. That changed things for us. He's a premier that looks for reconciliation, looks for resolution," Penashue said. "And that's a fine quality to have in a premier." Penashue also highlighted Furey's role in pushing forward Indigenous participation in resource development, including discussions on Churchill River projects and economic agreements. He said Furey understood the importance of land rights and ensured Innu representation at key decision-making tables — something that hasn't always been the case with past premiers. Still, Penashue acknowledged concerns about the next government. "We may have a premier that'll absolutely say, 'Look, I don't want to deal with the Innu people. I don't want to deal with these issues,'" he said. "When we get premiers that are prepared, that are engaged in discussions about our life, our future, our lands and the sharing of wealth, that's very welcoming for us."
