FOXBORO, Mass. — Don’t write off Jonnu Smith just yet.
That was fellow New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry’s message Thursday.
Henry, who’s emerged as one of quarterback Mac Jones’ favorite targets in recent weeks, believes Smith is due for a breakout of his own.
“He’s going to come on,” Henry said. “I’m excited to see him break out. … He works extremely hard at what he does, so I think he’s going to continue to keep coming.”
The former Tennessee Titans standout has just six catches on 13 targets for 45 yards and one touchdown over the Patriots’ last three games.
