The time to respect Damiere Byrd’s contributions for the New England Patriots is here.
Jakobi Meyers, Damien Harris and Rex Burkhead are all players that have deservingly received praise at different points in the season. Cam Newton will garner credit for the wins, but he’s equally as responsible for every loss from the average critic’s viewpoint.
Byrd has flown under the radar and his ability to make plays on a consistent basis has been overlooked. In a difficult 27-20 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 11, the 5-foot-9 speedster accrued six receptions, 132 yards (career high) and a touchdown.
