People have been freaking out about the shape of the New England Patriots’ receiving corps right now — saying that the Patriots are making it more difficult on Tom Brady, and that they aren’t doing enough to make their passing attack any more dangerous. But everyone needs to take a deep breath and relax. After all, the receivers look incredibly close to what they were last year.
So far, the Patriots have lost Cordarrelle Patterson and Dwayne Allen, and will possibly also lose Chris Hogan. Those three had only 59 combined receptions last season.
