New England Patriots players are set to report to training camp on July 28, along with most other teams in the league.

Looking down the roster, the Patriots appear to be set at most starting positions. The majority of the team is returning from 2019 and the few spots that opened up will have some competition between rookies and veterans to determine who wins the job.

In just over a month’s time, the 90-man roster will be trimmed down to the 53 guys who will start the season in New England. While some players’ jobs are secure, these seven players are fighting for the opportunity to remain with the Patriots.

Jakobi Meyers

The former NC State receiver had an impressive preseason showing with Jarrett Stidham in his rookie year. While he didn’t put up incredible numbers (26 receptions for 359 yards) in the regular season, Meyers was able to get some looks from Tom Brady.

With new quarterbacks up for the job in Cam Newton and Stidham, Meyers may be able to earn himself a job on the team again this year. However, to do it, he’ll likely have to beat out Marquis Lee and either Damiere Byrd or Gunner Olszewski.

Matt LaCosse

New England took advantage of the draft to restock their tight end position, taking Dalton Keene and Devin Asiasi in the third round. These moves put a guy like LaCosse in a tough position to keep his spot on the 53-man roster.

In the 2019 season, his first in New England, LaCosse put up only 13 receptions for 131 yards and a touchdown. Injuries kept the tight end out of a lot of games and slowed him down in those he did appear in. He can’t have another slow start if he wants to make the team.
