The Patriots and Xavier Worthy: During his comments at the NFL Scouting Combine, Patriots director of scouting Eliot Wolf — who has said he will make the call on the team’s draft picks — spoke about trying to “weaponize the offense” following a disastrous 2023 season.

According to NFL draft reporter Tony Pauline, the Patriots were among several teams to meet with Worthy at the Texas pro day earlier this week (a long list that also included the Bears, Colts, Cowboys, Steelers, and Texans).
