Struggling Patriots WR puts doubters on notice with six-word message

New England Patriots wide receiver Ja’Lynn Polk is putting the doubters on notice ahead of training camp.

The 2024 second-round draft pick struggled in his rookie year with the Patriots, hauling in only 12 catches for 87 yards and two touchdowns. Things looked promising in last year's training camp, and he even caught a touchdown in the season-opening game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

However, that production quickly fell off a cliff for Polk, who struggled to perform in a Patriots offense that had issues throughout the season. There's hope that his second year will be different with more experience, renewed confidence and Josh McDaniels taking over as the new offensive coordinator.
