The Patriots' receiving corps has been a topic of conversation that has dominated much of the discussion surrounding the team for several years, and that didn't change going into the 2025 season despite the apparent upgrades the new regime made to the group.
There was a special interest in how they would perform during a crucial second season for Drake Maye and so far, they have underperformed and drawn a lot of concern about the future. Among the most concerning has been DeMario Douglas, who had an impressive offseason and looked like he could be the WR2 behind Stefon Diggs.
