One of the most problematic positions facing the New England Patriots ahead of training camp is at tight end.
The top of the depth chart is solidified with returning veteran Hunter Henry. Still, there are real questions about the team's depth after losing Julian Hill to a season-ending injury in the spring.
The Patriots are desperately clinging to hope that rookie third-round draft pick Eli Raridon can contribute right out of the gate, but it's always a stretch depending on that kind of progress from a first-year tight end. It wouldn't be a surprise to see the Patriots explore the possibility of bringing in a veteran tight end to boost the competition at the position in training camp.
Here's where things currently stand at the position:
Hunter Henry
