Demario Douglas doesn’t exactly stand out among the swarm of Patriots players jogging out onto New England’s practice fields.
Clocking in at 5-foot-8 and 192 pounds, Douglas doesn’t measure up to big-bodied wideouts like DeVante Parker (6-foot-3, 215 pounds). He’s not going to be tasked with doling out blocks, fighting through safeties and snagging contested catches on deep routes.
But when he’s out on the field and gets in motion, it’s easy to see why the 2023 sixth-round pick is separating himself from the rest of the pack at training camp.
Through the first four full practices of training camp, Douglas has earned plenty of first-team reps with Mac Jones and his projected group of weapons like JuJu Smith-Schuster, Hunter Henry, Parker and others.
