The Patriots are kicking off training camp with a wide receiver experiment.

On Thursday, former LSU quarterback Danny Etling, who was drafted in the seventh round by New England last year, worked out with the receivers in a white jersey, as opposed to the red no-contact shirts reserved for quarterbacks.

“Everyone has a lot of different roles on this team, and I am no exception,” Etling said, according to WEEI. “I am excited to keep trying to find a different role for myself, do whatever the coaches ask me to do, and keep learning from the leaders in front of me.”

Julian Edelman, the 2019 Super Bowl MVP, previously transitioned to wide receiver/punter returner after playing quarterback at Kent State in college. Edelman, who racked up 850 yards last season, will be sidelined for the next few weeks due to a thumb injury.

The 6-foot-2 Etling, who spent his first season on the practice squad, believes that playing a new position will help improve his skillset going forward.

“I think I have always kind of known, especially last season, that week-to-week you are going to have different roles and responsibilities. One thing is definitely for sure in football that there is constant change. You definitely want to continue to develop as many skills and talents as you can to help the team and help your role expand,” Etling said.

With Tom Brady embarking on his 20th NFL season, followed by backup Brian Hoyer and rookie Jarrett Stidham, Etling, who is still listed as a quarterback on the Patriots roster, is grateful to play, no matter the position.

“I am out here in an NFL training camp getting to play for the Patriots and getting to find a new role for myself and getting coached by some of the greatest coaches and getting to be teammates with some of the greatest teammates of all time,” Etling said.
