I was a guy who didn\u2019t have expectations, so it was a little bit easier for me, but I\u2019ve seen guys come in who were really high draft picks and couldn\u2019t deal with the expectations that came from it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey just have to be able to match the physical with the mental. They have the attributes to go out there and be good players. I think they\u2019ll take this offseason to improve on that, block out all the noise, and show up and be a good football player.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Polk and Baker have a long way to go before they become playable, let alone legitimate contributors, but those who have been around them seemingly have hope for the future.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Patriots have been a disaster in the wide receiver room in recent seasons, but that doesn&#8217;t mean they don&#8217;t have talent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12887,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-england-patriots"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
