Patriots' Surging WR is Bad News for Veterans

The New England Patriots have quite the battle going on at the wide receiver position, and it's one that should only heat up during training camp.

The Patriots will probably only keep only six, maybe seven wide receivers heading into the regular season, and while players like Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, DeMario Douglas and Kyle Williams are almost certainly locks, the rest of the cast will be fighting tooth and nail to make the 53-man roster.

Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne, Ja'Lynn Polk, Javon Baker and Efton Chism III will likely be competing for the final two or three spots available on the depth chart, and to be perfectly honest, Boutte is probably a lock barring a trade, which cannot be ruled out.
