2021 Patriots positional preview: Wide Receivers

The New England Patriots’ receiving corps was an abject disaster in 2020. You all remember so we’ll spare you the details, but if there is a single positive that came out of a season full of grim receiver play, it’s the fact that the team was almost forced to make upgrades.

Two free agents and $48.5 million later, New England’s wide receiver room is expected to be more well rounded and competitive than it has been in a couple of seasons. With some newfound talent and the continued development of young players, there is expected to be some great competition for the final few spots.
