Ethan Hurwitz covers the New England Patriots for Sports Illustrated, writing about roster battles, depth charts, and training camp developments. His work tracks the competitions for roster spots and the young players fighting to make the 53-man squad.

## Record

- **Accuracy:** 80%
- **MissedTakes Score:** 6.51
- **Graded articles:** 5
- **Graded individual calls:** 47
- **Clarity:** 100%

PROVISIONAL: fewer than 10 graded articles. This number is not yet meaningful, and they are excluded from leaderboards.

The MissedTakes Score is how much better than a naive baseline they did, not how often they were right. Zero means no better than a strategy requiring no knowledge. A record is counted in ARTICLES rather than individual calls, because thirty picks in one mock draft is one act of judgment rather than thirty.

### Aug 23, 2026 — scored 100 across 1 call

### Aug 22, 2026 — scored 100 across 1 call

Previewing the Patriots' preseason game, Hurwitz assesses veterans fighting for 53-man roster spots, predicting JaMycal Hasty is most likely headed to the practice squad at best, and that Mike Brown — once seen as a near-lock — could now be a roster casualty behind Dell Pettus and John Saunders Jr.

### Aug 19, 2026 — scored 0 across 1 call

Hurwitz says several Patriots starting jobs and roster spots are already settled — Drake Maye at QB with Jared Wilson at center, A.J. Brown and Hunter Henry as pass-catchers, and Christian Gonzalez, Milton Williams and Kevin Byard locked into roster spots. Among camp standouts, he pegs undrafted rookie Cameron Dorner as roughly the eighth receiver on a roster likely keeping seven, and says Channing Canada is a strong practice squad candidate if he doesn't make the 53.
