The Patriots' wide receiver position is highly competitive, with notable starters including Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte, and DeMario "Pop" Douglas. Kendrick Bourne, the longest-tenured receiver, highlights the positive atmosphere created by competition in the group. Rookie free agents and veteran players, including Mack Hollins on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, are also in the mix. Younger players like Ja'Lynn Polk and Javon Baker have not figured prominently into the immediate plans and are currently off the radar for the roster's initial cutdown.
At some point, veteran Mack Hollins (two years, $8.4 million) will come off the physically unable to perform (PUP) list and land somewhere within those top six spots.
The snapshot provided clarity as to where things stand with the team's most competitive and crowded position: wide receiver.
Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte and DeMario "Pop" Douglas were with the starters, while 2025 third-round pick Kyle Williams, nine-year veteran Kendrick Bourne and undrafted rookie free agent Efton Chism III headlined the receivers at the opposite end.
You love to have challenge, the environment of competition, which really brings the best out." said Bourne, the team's longest tenured receiver of four years.
