The New England Patriots surely don’t have a star-studded pass-catching group as it will never be confused with the weapons the San Francisco 49ers and Miami Dolphins can trot out on offense.
Kendrick Bourne, who is recovery from ACL surgery, headlines the group of receivers, which includes DeMario Douglas, Tyquan Thornton, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Kayshon Boutte and new addition K.J. Osborn. The Patriots also addressed the position in the draft by using a second-round pick on Ja’Lynn Polk and a fourth-round selection on Javon Baker.
The group also technically features pass-catching tight ends in Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper, but even including those two wasn’t enough to impress Pro Football Focus.
