| 7/02/25 | Patriots Rookie Endorses Training with Former Coach. Last month, former NFL receiver Michael Bumpus — high school coach of New England Patriots' receiver Efton Chism III — declared the team would be “freaking silly” if they failed to find a spot for the undrafted rookie on their initial 53-man roster. As July begins, Chism is reciprocating Bumpus' compliments by providing a ringing endorsement for the training program which may help him prove his case beyond a reasonable doubt. Bumpus, the CEO of Monroe, Washington's Elite Training Academy, coached Chism to a successful career at Monroe High School in which he amassed 166 catches for 2,581 yards with 39 total touchdowns.

| 6/19/25 | Patriots 'Would Be Silly' Not To Keep Efton Chism. All eyes have been on New England Patriots receiver Efton Chism throughout OTAs and mandatory minicamp, with the undrafted free agent already making a strong impression. Many consider him a favorite to earn a spot on the 53-man roster, and Chism's high school coach sent the Patriots a strong message about what he can bring to the team. “The Patriots would be freaking silly not to put this kid on the 53-man (roster),” Chism's high school coach Michael Bumpus told WEEI's Meghan Ottolini. Quarterback Drake Maye has also noticed Chism's efforts, joking that it feels like he's caught “50 passes” during the spring and early summer.

| 6/18/25 | Why interview with Seattle Seahawks' Cooper Kupp went viral. An interview my co-host Michael Bumpus and I had last week with Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp ended up going viral, which is unfortunate because my hair looks awful. More importantly, though, I think it's fun to look at why exactly Kupp's answer about how NFL defenses have evolved resonated with thousands of people. There are new ideas that blossom from decades-old roots and in turn shape the league; a Shanahan-Kubiak system borne of a variation of the West Coast offense, or Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay's modernized and ever-evolving versions (Benjamin Solak has a great write-up on that one).
