Arriving into the rough waters of training camp competition, new Patriots signing Eric Decker is already immersed in a sink-or-swim scenario. So far, it’s been up and down.
The 31-year-old wide receiver was brought in by the Patriots on August 3 to add depth and potentially make an impact. After all, the physically imposing Minnesota native has multiple 1,000-yard receiving seasons in his past.
Acclimating to any new team is a difficult undertaking in the fast paced rigors of training camp, let alone an 11-man wide receiver competition that’s been hotly contested from the opening practice.
