Patriots WR Demario Douglas embracing underdog role

New England Patriots wideout Demario Douglas has been making quite an impression throughout the first two weeks of training camp.

Multiple veterans have been singing his praises, including second-year cornerback Marcus Jones. In such a short time, it’s clear that the rookie is taking advantage of his opportunities.

Douglas’ speed has been notable, as well as his ability to win in one-on-one situations. He is focused on making an impact, despite being somewhat of an underdog.

“For sure, you know, a lot of people say my height. I’ve always been doubted as you know being young, especially coming out of high school, low offers, stuff like that,” Douglas told reporters.
