The New England Patriots went into the 2022 offseason with a need for weapons around quarterback Mac Jones.
With uncertainty surrounding who's calling the plays and a receiving core that didn't have a single player reach 1,000 yards last season, acquiring playmakers quickly became a top priority.
Enter receivers DeVante Parker (trade) and Tyquan Thornton (draft).
While Thornton, the team's second round pick, offers speed and upside, Parker gives the Patriots exactly what they needed - a proven, reliable weapon on the outside.
As a result, Parker was named New England's most exciting offseason addition by Yardbarker.
