The Patriots paid Kyle Dixon over $250,000 in guaranteed money to sign.

Following the conclusion of the 2026 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots were aggressive in the undrafted free-agent market, prioritizing offensive depth and athletic upside. Here is a recap of the newest additions to the roster:

TE Tanner Arkin (Illinois): Tanner Arkin joins the Patriots’ tight end room after providing a reliable, physical presence for the Fighting Illini. Primarily known for his blocking prowess and ability to seal edges in the run game, Arkin offers the developmental upside of a traditional “Y” tight end who can contribute on special teams immediately while refining his pass-catching skills at the professional level.

DT David Blay (Miami): David Blay is a disruptive interior force coming out of the Hurricanes’ defensive front. At Miami, he showcased the quick first step and leverage necessary to collapse the pocket from the inside, making him a prime candidate to compete for a rotational role on a Patriots defensive line that values versatility and gap discipline.

CB Channing Canada (TCU): Channing Canada brings Big 12 experience and high-end speed to the New England secondary. A former top junior college recruit before landing at TCU, Canada is a fluid athlete with the length to challenge receivers at the catch point, providing the coaching staff with a raw but talented developmental project at cornerback.

WR Nick DeGennaro (James Madison): A highly productive weapon for the Dukes, Nick DeGennaro is a polished route runner who specializes in finding soft spots in zone coverage. His reliable hands and high football IQ make him an intriguing “chain-mover” prospect for a Patriots offense looking for consistent options across the middle of the field.

WR Kyle Dixon (Culver-Stockton): Representing the small-school ranks, Kyle Dixon was an absolute standout at the NAIA level, racking up massive statistical totals including over 2,300 receiving yards and 24 touchdowns. At 6-foot-2 and 220 pounds, he possesses a rare combination of size and production that the Patriots hope will translate against higher-level competition.

WR Cameron Dorner (North Texas): Cameron Dorner is an explosive vertical threat who made a name for himself as one of the most efficient receivers in the AAC. After a successful stint at the Division II level, Dorner proved he could handle the leap in competition by averaging nearly 17 yards per catch for the Mean Green, offering the Patriots much-needed deep-threat potential.

CB Kenneth Harris (Oklahoma State): Kenneth Harris is a physical, press-man corner who thrived in the Cowboys’ defensive system. With plenty of experience against top-tier Big 12 receivers, Harris brings a competitive edge and the size to hold up on the perimeter, fitting the mold of the tough, man-to-man defenders the Patriots have historically coveted.

WR Jimmy Kibble (Georgetown): Jimmy Kibble arrives in New England after a historic career at Georgetown, where he finished top-three in program history for receiving yards. A team captain and deep-ball receiver, Kibble’s ability to win contested catches and his reputation for “clutch” plays—including a viral game-winning Hail Mary—give him a legitimate shot at stickiness on the roster.

RB Myles Montgomery (Central Florida): Myles Montgomery provides the Patriots with a change-of-pace back who features explosive burst and elite lateral agility. During his time at UCF, he proved to be a homerun threat whenever he found a crease, and his potential as a pass-catcher out of the backfield fits the archetype of a versatile New England sub-back.

G JonDarius Morgan, G, (UAB) JonDarius Morgan is a massive human being at 6-foot-4 and 320 pounds, bringing a “road grader” mentality to the interior of the offensive line. A former South Carolina transfer, Morgan has the raw power to move defenders in the run game and the frame to develop into a stout pass protector under the guidance of New England’s coaching staff.

C, Jacob Rizy (Florida State): Jacob Rizy is a highly intelligent and versatile offensive lineman who played every position except left tackle during his collegiate career at Harvard and Florida State. His ability to snap the ball and process defensive fronts quickly makes him a valuable asset for the Patriots’ interior depth, where he is expected to compete primarily at center and guard.
