FOXBOROUGH — Malik Cunningham is not one to show any lack in confidence out on the field.
The 24-year-old rookie is already embracing the challenge of trying to carve out an NFL roster spot as a wide receiver, despite crafting a lauded collegiate career at Louisville as a dual-threat quarterback.
But the former Cardinal may not be so quick to trade in his QB wrist coach for receiver gloves.
In the closing minutes of New England’s preseason-opening loss to the Texans, Cunningham was handed the keys to the listless Patriots’ offense looking for any semblance of a spark.
