As New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has repeatedly said in the past, the offseason is not a time for evaluation and competition but rather for teaching. Roster spots and roles on the depth chart are therefore neither won nor lost during spring practices.
That said, now is the time for players to build a foundation and to create some momentum heading into the summer break and, subsequently, training camp.
One man who is apparently doing just that is Jakobi Meyers. By all accounts, the third-year wide receiver has had an impressive spring so far, leaving some to wonder if he could eventually end up as New England’s number one wide receiver option after all.
