Julian Edelman explains why it's 'awesome' to have Demaryius Thomas on Patriots

FOXBORO, Mass. -- The New England Patriots' wide receiver group looks quite different than it did at the end of Super Bowl LIII in February.

Chris Hogan, Cordarrelle Patterson and others departed over the offseason. Veterans Demaryius Thomas (free agent) and Josh Gordon (reinstated from suspension) have been added to the roster, along with talented rookies Jakobi Meyers and N'Keal Harry.

Thomas' arrival, in particular, could have a strong impact on the Patriots with his ability to produce on the field and set a good example off the field for the team's younger players.
