FOXBORO, Mass. — The New England Patriots wide receiver room is built more on depth than it is on high-end talent, and head coach Bill Belichick struck an optimistic tone when discussing the competition at wideout.
“I think we have good competition at that position and it will be determined by how the players perform,” Belichick said before the team’s most recent training camp session Thursday.
Newcomer DeVante Parker and recent second-round draftee Tyquan Thornton have continued to be mentioned as a pair of receivers who have stood out through the first seven practices. They’re joined on the depth chart by, in no particular order, Kendrick Bourne, Jakobi Meyers, Nelson Agholor, Kristian Wilkerson, Tre Nixon and others.
