Look at that hand size and arm length, I bet he dominated other toddlers back then.

An 80 wingspan is a very nice breadbasket to throw to.

Three inches bigger than the starting LT’s. Weird.

Haha..I think the church A/C has about 150,000 BTU; however, I hear funds may be running low so the clergy will have some decisions to make after this year..

Not even close. Raridon has so much work to do with his route running, he makes Pop Douglas look spectacular

Have to be at least excited that the Pats took a swing - and I'm glad the swing wasn't one of these 6'1" 240 TE's that are all over the place now. He's prototype size, and very athletic.
Weight, play strength, and route running can all be improved in year 1. There's no reason he can't produce more than Hooper did last year as TE2. And Hill will be in the mix too.
I can easily see Raridon have 26 rec / 340 yd / 3 TD in his rookie season.
* and if Henry misses any time mid-late season - he could far surpass that.

Don't insult Kellerman like that. At least he has some football knowledge. He's just a blatant homer..

You mean Raridon also trips over chalk lines?

Eli Raridon is 6'5 245 and was taken in the 3rd round. Travis Kelce is 6'5 255 and was taken in the 3rd round. Just saying...

Raridon is going to give some of those smaller DBs nightmares when they have to bring him down. Just look at that size difference!

That's what Douglas does after the catch.. Not his route running.. LOL

Our running game should be much better this year, from week 1 on, and that will benefit all our receivers. It's amazing we functioned at all last year with 2 rookies on the OL, no FB, rookie QB & RB, everyone learning the offense, new staff, etc. When you step back and realize we went 14-3 + 3 playoff wins under those circumstances, there's a lot to be proud of, weak schedule or not.

Raridon has all the tools to succeed, including run & pass-blocking skills, and I expect big things out of him and this offense.
