The Patriots are entering training camp with a unique problem that they haven't had the luxury of dealing with for several years: having too many receivers on the roster and needing a major competition to sort out who should make the 2025 team. Considering how crucial it is for Drake Maye to be surrounded with improved weaponry in his second season, it's the perfect problem to have.
But it won't be easy to narrow down to six or maybe seven receivers that should remain with the team, especially with the rise of undrafted free agent Efton Chism III in spring practices and now a new projection involving Ja'Lynn Polk that would inevitably make him a roster lock if accurate.
