The New England Patriots had optimism after trading a second-round pick to the Atlanta Falcons for Mohamed Sanu.
Bill Belichick’s team was 7-0 when making the trade in 2019 and decided to shore up a wide receiver corps that consisted of just Julian Edelman, Phillip Dorsett and Jakobi Meyers. Sanu came in and quickly had a huge game for 10 catches, 81 yards and a touchdown — but that production slowed down rapidly following an ankle injury.
He finished his eight-game duration with only 26 receptions for 207 yards and a touchdown, which wasn’t enough for the Patriots.
