When Tom Brady's New England Patriots teams were in their heyday, some of the best wide receivers in the NFL made their home in Foxborough. Randy Moss, Deion Branch and Wes Welker are among the many wideouts who caught passes from, arguably, the greatest quarterback in professional football history.
DeMario Douglas is conscious of this fact. He told reporters on Monday that he frequently watches film reels of wide receivers from past Patriots offenses led by current offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, whose most recent stint with the team lasted from 2012 to 2021.
