The Patriots went ahead and took another wide receiver in the sixth round on Saturday, selecting Liberty’s Demario Douglas with the 210th overall pick.
This selection comes after the club earlier selected LSU’s Kayshon Boutte, with New England adding some offensive depth to their roster.
Watching film on Douglas, he’s a terrific athlete. He ran a 4.44 40-yard dash at the combine, along with a 4.29 20-yard shuttle, and his performance on the field certainly backs up those metrics.
He’s not the biggest of players, coming in at 5’8″, 179lbs but he’s got an unbelievable first step after catching the ball, with the ability to slide laterally left or right and elude defenders, only to then accelerate and take off.
