iknowcool Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I was so wrong about this guy. I was sure he’d be a great player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed to spark a bit but could never really get it together. If he is able to reach his potential with the Patriots, though, he may just put up some monster stats with Brady. Maybe.

Was wondering if this deal would push back their draft needs for the position.....but they've got a whole lot of "haven't done much" currently on the roster - so guess probably not.......

FinSting Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 This could be the first time in NFL history a hyped young player disappoints early in his career and original team but later flourishes with the Patriots... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt LaCosse Jacob Hollister Stephen Anderson Ryan Izzo Cedrick Lang Belichick has always been a guy who likes having more than one capable Tight End on the roster. So I'd be a little surprised if they didn't take at least one in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets overstated, but Kyle Van Noy is probably the most recent one. Some others can be included too, depending on how strict you are with “hyped young player”, “original team”, and “flourishes” (Wes Welker, Danny Woodhead, Trent Brown, Stephon Gilmore, etc). I think NE does more of signing veterans to squeeze out another productive season or two than it does acquiring young reclamation projects.

Welker, who was undrafted, that they traded for a 2nd and 7th for? I think he obviously didn't disappoint prior to going to the Pats even though he had only started 3 games and had 1100 yards the two years he got PT with the Fins.

I think NE does more of signing veterans to squeeze out another productive season or two than it does acquiring young reclamation projects. I already spoke about Welker, Woodhead was also undrafted and had his most productive years (and only 1k yards years) with the Chargers. Van Noy I will give you, I'm not sure Gilmore was really any different than he was with the Bills. Patriots do a great job of getting guys that fit their system but it isn't like they become stars from nothing like was mentioned , they are mostly role players which is exactly why they were brought in and why the Patriots have been successful (along with Brady/Belichick of course).

I guess he didn't disappoint because he had nothing to live up to as far as draft status but he was definitely an outcast who flourished with the Pats. Yin-Yang had a good example, Kyle Van Noy, there are others too. LaGarrette Blount is a pretty good example too I know the first season with Bucs he had 1k yards but after that he was disappointing (probably more under-utilized and bad O-line) but when he went to the Pats he definitely had a much better career.
