The Patriots’ wide receiving corps lacks a true No. 1 option, but that doesn’t mean the group can’t be very productive this season.
DeMario Douglas will look to build off a promising rookie campaign, while Kendrick Bourne vies to pick up where he left off last season. And then there’s K.J. Osborn, who’s about to play his first season outside of Minnesota.
Osborn never truly shined with the Vikings, but that’s largely because his spot on the depth chart was behind a pair of studs: Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen. But Kirk Cousins, Osborn’s quarterback for all four of the 26-year-old’s seasons in Minneapolis, knows what his ex-teammate can bring to the table and he’s eager to see how he performs in New England.
