Patriots' Jerod Mayo drops scathing Ja'Lynn Polk review after loss to Texans

New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo, who recently said the roster still has lots of holes, set the bar when discussing rookie wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk. Mayo discussed the team, critiqued multiple players on a recent conference call with the media, and had firm words for Polk, per ESPN's Mike Reiss.

“He needs to get over this mental hump. You got to eliminate the dropped passes and be better blocking … We fully expect him to grow into a receiver that is dependable on run and pass downs.”

Despite seeing 10 targets over his last two games, Polk only caught two of them.
