Patriots rookie WR trying to learn from former greats

New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Demario ‘Pop’ Douglas is having a productive rookie season.

The sixth-round draft pick currently has 47 catches for 548 yards this season. His 47 receptions are the most ever for a rookie wideout in the Bill Belichick era.

It shouldn’t come as any surprise that Douglas has found immediate success in the NFL when considering his preparation, which includes learning from some of the best wide receivers in Patriots’ history.

Julian Edelman, Troy Brown and Deion Branch are some of the most productive receivers in the history of the franchise.
