When the New England Patriots sent a 2020 second-round draft pick to the Atlanta Falcons a week before the trade deadline, they absolutely had high hopes for the return on their investment. They were, after all, sacrificing quite a lot to acquire Mohamed Sanu, a 30-year-old wide receiver who was expected to immediately make an impact on the Patriots’ mediocre offense this season.
So far through six games of action, it just hasn’t happened.
No one expected Sanu to come blazing out of the gates in Foxborough during his first game as a Patriot against the Cleveland Browns.
