If the Patriots have improved at the receiver position, it hasn’t been by much. JuJu Smith-Schuster is definitely an upgrade when it comes to yards after the catch. So there will certainly be opportunities for him to feast in an offense with a long history of leaning heavily on screens and short passing plays.
DeVante Parker is one of the most underrated receivers in the league on the outside, but injuries have been a lingering issue for the veteran wideout. If he can stay on the field consistently, he has proven in the past that he can put up big numbers.
Speaking of putting up numbers, Kendrick Bourne no longer has to worry about Matt Patricia’s doghouse. People tend to forget he posted a career-high 55 receptions for 800 yards and five touchdowns in 2021.
Another player hoping for a bounce-back season is Tyquan Thornton. Things obviously didn’t go as expected for the 2022 rookie second-round draft pick. He has size, speed and the ability to separate downfield. The Patriots are banking on a second-year leap from the former Baylor standout to help take the offense to new heights.
