Ja’Lynn Polk would prefer to forget about his rookie season.
His role peaked during New England’s 30-13 blowout loss against the 49ers, where he had a season-high three catches on seven targets.
The following week, he caught what appeared to be a go-ahead touchdown against the Miami Dolphins. But, after reviewing the play, officials ruled that Polk did not get both feet in-bounds, taking the score off of the board.
From there, Polk’s opportunities plummeted. Drake Maye took over at quarterback the following week. Jacoby Brissett had targeted Polk at least three times in three of his five starts.
