COMMENTARY
Don’t be frustrated with New England Patriots wide receiver Ja’Lynn Polk. Instead, question the “architects” who thought him to be a more important piece than a player who could ultimately protect the team’s most important draft pick in 30 years.
It’s unfair to label a kid a “bust” only seven games into his professional football career, so maybe it’s less harsh to suggest that Polk might not be making the best decisions, even among NFL rookies.
Polk erected a target onto his back last week by declaring he had the best hands in the NFL, giving thirsty defensive backs a tall drink of water, as if they need any, to play the putrid 1-6 Patriots.
