New England Patriots wide receiver Ja’Lynn Polk pushed back on Jerod Mayo’s recent critiques about the rookie’s string of dropped passes.
Polk told MassLive’s Mark Daniels he wasn’t going through any “mental” hurdles like Mayo referenced. The second-round pick proceeded to offer a glowing self-review.
“I believe I have the best hands in the league,” Polk told Daniels. “So, I feel like my drops, that’s not an issue at all.”
Well, Polk’s sentiments aged terribly — and quickly.
Polk was targeted twice during the first half of Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
