Patriots WR DeMario Douglas ‘not satisfied at all’ with rookie season

DeMario Douglas was drafted by the New England Patriots with floor-level expectations, and he blew every last one of them out of the water with a historic year as a rookie under former coach Bill Belichick.

And he still isn’t satisfied.

The 2023 sixth-round draft pick finished the year with 49 receptions for 561 yards, which made him the most productive rookie receiver ever in the Belichick era. He also led the entire team in both targets and receiving yards.

It was a great first year from an obvious draft steal, but deep down, Douglas knows he can be even better.
