The New England Patriots did add the likes of Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins in free agency, but their wide receiver group as a whole is still a young one. Diggs alone, for example, has played more games in the league than his nine youngest teammates combined.
That youth and inexperience was a problem for the group in 2024. A lack of production on one hand was accompanied by a lack of consistent leadership and effort on the other.
So far in 2025, however, the young wideouts have left a positive impression on their new position coach.
