Before the Patriots selected Ja’Lynn Polk in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, they might have had their eyes on a few receivers who went late in the first round and early in the second round.
Former Patriots executive Michael Lombardi believes Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy was one of them.
“New England was in high-speed pursuit of Worthy,” Lombardi said on “The Pat McAfee Show.” “They wanted Worthy badly. They were making calls to get that pick. Buffalo had them on the phone, and so was Kansas City.”
Of course, the Patriots didn’t get Worthy.
