Kendrick Bourne Shows Patriots’ Problem With Prioritizing Personnel

Kendrick Bourne has been a playmaker throughout his time with the New England Patriots.

The wide receiver was one of several additions to New England when the Patriots revamped their roster with a free-agent frenzy prior to the 2021 season. Bourne signed a three-year contract to come to Foxboro after spending the first four seasons of his career with the San Francisco 49ers.

In his first season in New England, Bourne became an instant difference-maker. He gave rookie quarterback Mac Jones a play-making target who helped the offense drive the Patriots to a 10-win season and a return to postseason play.
