Ja'Lynn Polk

Patriots coach Jerod Mayo said rookie wideout Ja’Lynn Polk “needs to get over this mental hump. You got to eliminate the dropped passes and be better blocking.”

He also mentioned that Kendrick Bourne is who stood out to him when he “look[s] at the film.” Bourne played 34 snaps in his second game back from injured reserve and could eat into Polk’s role after Polk has caught just five of 17 targets over the last three weeks. The team has an obligation to get the players that can make Drake Maye look the best, and thus far that has not been Polk.
