The Patriots’ pursuit of top-end receiver talent through the NFL Draft hasn’t exactly been fruitful as of late.
On Saturday, New England moved on from its latest pass-catching project when the team released 2022 second-round pick Tyquan Thornton after two-and-a-half lackluster campaigns in Foxborough.
And while it might still be early, New England’s two rookie wideouts aren’t doing much to separate themselves from the same “bust” label affixed to Thornton.
After taking a step forward in Week 10 against the Bears by reeling in a touchdown, 2024 second-round pick Ja’Lynn Polk was once again an afterthought in New England’s offensive approach during Sunday’s loss to the Rams.
