3 reasons why Aaron Dobson will make Patriots final roster

2. Dobson’s experience in the system

Those tired of Dobson’s longevity in New England without having produced big numbers year in and year out point to his fourth preseason as a Patriot with frustration. However, the fact remains that Dobson has managed to stick around this long without getting released or traded, and during that time, Dobson has learned the intricacies of a very complicated Patriots’ aerial attack, which will certainly count for something come decision time next week.

The Patriots don’t usually retain an underachieving wide receiver who has no special teams value; the only other names that come to mind in recent memory are Randy Moss and Brandon LaFell. Considering that, it’s reasonable to say that the Patriots still think Dobson could become a Moss (especially with his current hairdo) or a LaFell in that “X” role. Certainly, the Patriots are still very keen on Dobson, or else he would have gone the way of fellow 2013 rookie Kenbrell Thompkins by now.
