The New England Patriots made some serious investments in their wide receiver group this offseason. Besides signing Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins to multi-year free agency deals, they also selected Kyle Williams in the third round of the NFL Draft and added a bunch of undrafted rookies to further spice things up.
The message sent through those moves was clear. A continuation of the past and its struggles at the position was not in news head coach Mike Vrabel’s plans.
And yet, despite all of the moves and added competition, the old guard continues to play a sizable role within New England’s offense.
