The 37th overall pick in this year\u2019s draft, Polk has 12 catches for 87 yards with two touchdowns on his season stat line with three games left. To put that into perspective, Davante Adams had nine catches for 198 yards with a pair of scores <em>in a single game<\/em> for the New York Jets last Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>With Polk\u2019s miserable season nearing its end, Zolak couldn\u2019t help but make the comparison to Harry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m to the point right now, and I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m going to say this \u2014 it feels to me that N\u2019Keal Harry had a bigger impact here than what Ja\u2019Lynn Polk\u2019s gonna have,\u201d Zolak said Monday on 98.5 The Sports Hub, as transcribed by NBC Sports Boston.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nbcsportsboston.com\/2024\/11\/JaLynn-Polk-Drake-Maye.png?resize=850%2C478&amp;quality=85&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"Tag: Ja'Lynn Polk \u2013 NBC Sports Boston\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cN\u2019Keal Harry in his early days has done more than Ja\u2019Lynn Polk, and that shocks the hell out of me because I was a huge Polk guy coming out of Washington. Massive production. Great route runner. We\u2019re down here doing our show every summer, you see him make plays in practice. I came away from camp thinking, \u2018This guy\u2019s gonna be your No. 1,\u2019 because he would catch everything. He wasn\u2019t blowing by anybody, but you can at least see he belonged.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>In Polk\u2019s defense, it\u2019s been a brutal campaign for almost every New England wide receiver. Two of them didn\u2019t even make it through a full season with the Patriots, who released both Tyquan Thornton and K.J. Osborn.<\/p>\n<p>So, it feels fair to say the jury still is out on whether Polk actually is a capable NFL receiver. But it\u2019s certainly not looking promising for the 22-year-old.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scott Zolak brought up one of the Patriots&#8217; worst draft busts of all time when he criticized a struggling New England rookie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6870,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6869","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 -
