Tight end Jonnu Smith is not worried about his current role in the Patriots offense

The New England Patriots’ free agency spending spree has produced some impressive results so far this season.

Matthew Judon and Hunter Henry lead the team in sacks and touchdowns, respectively; Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor are starter-caliber wide receivers; Davon Godchaux has helped shore up one of the worst run defenses in football; Jalen Mills, Kyle Van Noy and Ted Karras are all starters at their respective positions.

Then, there is Jonnu Smith.

While not necessarily a disappointment, Smith has not yet lived up to his four-year, $50 million contract, at least in terms of his statistical impact: appearing in 10 out of 11 games, he has caught only 22 passes for 210 yards and one touchdown.
