The Patriots have struggled without a reliable No. 1 wide receiver since Julian Edelman in 2019. This year, the team signed Stefon Diggs and drafted Kyle Williams to enhance their offense around quarterback Drake Maye. The goal is to finally break a record streak without a 1,000-yard receiver. Julian Edelman's 1,117 yards in 2019 remains the last time a Patriots receiver reached that milestone. With a revamped roster, hopes are high that this season will mark the end of their prolonged drought in receiving yards.
"No team in the NFL has had a longer drought without a 1,000-yard receiver than the Patriots, as Julian Edelman's 1,117 receiving yards in 2019 marks the last time a New England receiver hit the 1,000-yard mark."
"Looking at the current and projected roster for the upcoming season, there's good reason to believe this could be the year that the Patriots finally end the unfortunate streak."
