If anyone told a Patriots fan going into this year's offseason that one of the most competitive positions throughout training camp would be wide receiver, it's fair to believe that not many would actually believe it. That hasn't been a problem the team has had to face in several years, which has negatively impacted the offense.
But the desire to surround Drake Maye with the most talent possible has given the team the luxury of making some tough decisions with their pass catchers.
That only worsened with some incredible performances in their preseason opener against the Commanders on Friday night, with undrafted free agent (UDFA) Efton Chism standing out the most with a fourth-down touchdown halfway through the third quarter.
