Who is the Patriots' most important offensive player outside Mac Jones in 2022?

We're officially in the quiet portion of the NFL offseason. So why not liven it up with some healthy debate?

Over the next few weeks, our Patriots Insiders Tom E. Curran and Phil Perry will go back and forth on several hot-button questions in New England entering the 2022 season.

First up: Who is the most important player on the Patriots' offense outside quarterback Mac Jones?

Kendrick Bourne will be the most important player on the Patriots offense in 2022. (Non-McCorkle division).

Why? Because he’s got the one thing the Patriots have missed since Julian Edelman carried the offense on his back in 2019.
