After a successful and record-breaking rookie season for New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas, the second-year pass catcher will enter 2024 with an opportunity to put the league on notice once again.
Douglas entered the fold for the Patriots last year as a sixth-round receiver and made a strong impact on the offense extremely early. He set the team's highest rookie reception record during the Bill Belichick era at 49 catches in 14 games, and will likely be in line for even more targets this coming season.
As a 5-foot-8, late-round receiver selection, it may come as a bit of a surprise to see Douglas cementing himself as a top option at receiver in New England, but he's done all the right steps in his short time with the team to merit that consideration.
