Patriots Mailbag: Which WRs will stick around?

If, and I realize at this stage it's a big if, Malik Cunningham makes the final roster, do you think there would be scenarios where Bill O'Brien would put him in the backfield like a quicker, slimmer Taysom Hill? I know he's quite raw but I think his burst, speed and vision lend themselves to him being featured as a running back on screens/sweeps or in gadget plays in a piece of trickery like we saw Josh McDaniels dial-up with Julian Edelman's quarterback abilities. - David Beckett

Without having seen Cunningham play on an NFL field it's hard to envision him having any sort of role on the offense in 2023.
