The 2024 season was not what Kendrick Bourne would have wanted.
The New England Patriots wide receiver spent his offseason and summer in rehabilitation mode and did not return to the field until October, almost a year after suffering a torn ACL during a regular season game in Miami the previous year. He did resume a starting role fairly early after his comeback, but was ultimately unhappy with his output.
Despite playing close to 60 percent of offensive snaps over the final 13 weeks of the season, after all, he had a relatively small impact on the offense’s fortunes.
