Wide receiver issues are nothing new for the New England Patriots ; the position group has struggled going all the way back to the days of Bill Belichick. The last couple of seasons, however, were particularly bleak: while, yes, the quarterback play left plenty to be desired as well, the team also failed to get consistent contributions out of its wideouts both on and off the field.

In order to address those issues, the Patriots made a couple of free agency acquisitions at the position. One of those was Mack Hollins, who should help address two of the biggest problems that have plagued the unit: playmaking ability on the perimeter and veteran leadership.
