The New England Patriots double-dipped at the wide receiver position in the 2023 NFL Draft, but the players they took found themselves on a different trajectory during their rookie seasons. While DeMario Douglas was one of the few positives on an otherwise lackluster offense, Kayshon Boutte failed to make much of an impact in Year 1.
That all changed in his second season: Boutte became a mainstay on offense, and finished as one of the most productive receivers on the team. Does any of this mean something for 2025, though?
