The Patriots enter 2025 under Mike Vrabel with split expectations ranging from a wild-card push to modest improvement after a disappointing 2024. Optimism centers on offensive upgrades, including Stefon Diggs and rookie Kyle Williams, which raises hopes for Drake Maye. A prominent projection foresees Kayshon Boutte overtaking Diggs in targets and delivering a better statistical season, building on his 2024 totals of 43 receptions for 589 yards and three touchdowns. If Boutte progresses, his emergence would undercut the narrative that Diggs must be the primary playmaker and could reshape the receiving hierarchy.
Looking ahead to the Patriots' 2025 season, there are numerous predictions about how the new Mike Vrabel-led team will perform following a disappointing 2024 season. To some analysts and fans, they're destined for a wild-card run in the postseason, while others believe they will show improvement but not enough to be all that impressed. No matter what ultimately happens, however, there is considerable optimism surrounding several players and their potential contributions to the team throughout the season.
While discussing the Patriots' 53-man roster and what to expect from them this fall, Curran shared his latest prediction about the receiving corps, as he believes Diggs will see a bit of a step back in his production from years past. Because of that, he sees Kayshon Boutte, who had a standout second season last year, leapfrogging him in targets and having a "better statistical season" than Diggs.
