With not much left to do in a lost season, Jerod Mayo and the New England Patriots are stressing their focus on building their future, which includes rookie development down the stretch of 2024. That includes recent second-round pick Ja'Lynn Polk, who they hope to see build a foundation with fellow rookie Drake Maye.
Despite not producing much for most of his inaugural campaign, Polk could see an increased role over the final month of the regular season, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
“The Patriots want to get receiver Ja'Lynn Polk going over these past four games, which ESPN's Mike Reiss pointed out on Friday,” Fowler wrote.
