Under-The-Radar Patriots Rookie Entering Big Spot After Bye Week

Jerod Mayo confirmed Patriots rookies and younger players will receive more opportunities over the final four weeks of the season.

New England would greatly benefit from those younger players performing well, not only for the 2024 season but because it would help the team’s outlook for the offseason.

During the latest episode of NESN’s “Foxboro Rush” podcast, George Balekji and Travis Thomas welcomed NESN.com’s Sean McGuire and discussed a handful of players who they’re hoping will step up in the final four games.

“It’s not the sexiest pick, but I’m so tuned out on the wide receivers at this point that I’m not going to go with a wide receiver,” McGuire said.
