The Patriots have seemingly been on a mission to find a No. 1 wide receiver over the past few offseason’s.
New England welcomed DeVante Parker ahead of the 2022 season, acquiring the big-bodied wideout from the Miami Dolphins in a trade that was viewed as an effort to give quarterback Mac Jones a reliable option for one-on-one throws to the outside or in the red zone. It then added JuJu Smith-Schuster this offseason, electing to add a slot option that many feel has a higher ceiling than Jakobi Meyers, the Patriots’ leading receiver over each of the last three seasons.
