A position group that has shown flashes but has been up and down for the Patriots in recent seasons has a chance to be a strength this year.
The wide receiver room appears to be on the rise, with newly acquired DeVante Parker in the mix; leading receivers Jakobi Meyers, Kendrick Bourne, and Nelson Agholor all returning; and Tyquan Thornton, Lil’Jordan Humphrey, Tre Nixon, Ty Montgomery, and Kristian Wilkerson vying for playing time as well. The team moved on from N’Keal Harry but have plenty of other young options capable of contributing.
“It’s a very competitive position at receiver,” head coach Bill Belichick said.
