Patriots host rookie tight end Jeremiah Franklin for tryout

The New England Patriots held a tryout for rookie tight end Jeremiah Franklin on Thursday. Franklin, who played at Boston College from 2022 to 2025, amassed 506 receiving yards and two touchdowns in his senior season. This tryout comes as the Patriots are assessing their roster ahead of training camp, especially after the season-ending knee injury to Julian Hill. Franklin is among the players under consideration as the team looks to bolster its tight end group, which includes starter Hunter Henry and rookies Eli Raridon and veteran CJ Dippre.
