Player Signing Welcome to New England, Efton Chism III, WR Eastern Washington University

[The Brandon Five]

The name is great!. If you love underdog stories this guy is for you. He actually broke many of Cooper Kupps records at EWU. Not big, not a speed demon...BUT productive, super competitive, strong hands, focused and really really into football. The stats are eye popping.
Do I think he will make the team? Probably not, its a real long shot. But will be pulling hard for him.
Is he Julian Edelman the 2nd- no not at all. His 40 time was 4.71. But easy to root for

WR Efton Chism III, Eastern Washington​

No player has had a faster rise this pre-draft process than Eastern Washington’s Efton Chism III. He stood out at the Hula Bowl and got the call-up to the East-West Shrine Bowl as a result.

While he is going to be exclusively a slot at the next level, but he’s a sharp route runner who has played through contact over the middle at a high level. He’s not going to impress with his 40-yard dash or explosiveness, but Chism III fits the hard hat scouting report you’ve read a million times before.

I see lots of Jules in his ability to avoid tacklers.
