In what was a difficult game for the New England Patriots in Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams, a certain graphic shown during the game reminded Patriots fans how the organization has been unable to develop a receiver through the draft.
For all the success that New England has had developing defensive players — and, really, players at every other position on the depth chart — the Patriots have not had as much success developing wideouts.
Looking at the list, several of these names leave a lot to be desired. Malcolm Mitchell was hampered by injury, and was never able to reach his full potential. To be fair, Braxton Berrios is in the league with the New York Jets while N’Keal Harry is still trying to find his groove. But then it gets even uglier: Taylor Price, Jeremy Ebert, Aaron Dobson, Josh Boyce and Jeremy Gallon. Yikes.
