The Patriots might have snagged wide receiver Kayshon Boutte in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, but the former LSU standout’s high ceiling has one NFL analyst comparing him to one of the best wideouts in the game.
During an appearance on the “Inside the Birds” podcast, NFL Films senior producer and ESPN analyst Greg Cosell said that Boutte reminds him of Stefon Diggs, at least in terms of where the current Bills star was when he was taken by the Vikings in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft.
“If he reached his ceiling and can play to [his physical] traits all the time, I thought there’s a Stefon Diggs comparison to be made,” Cosell said of Boutte.
