Patriots Optimistic About Nelson Agholor, Jonnu Smith
2 years agoThe free-agent signings of New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor and tight end Jonnu Smith seemed like mistakes after last season, but the Patriots are very optimistic about both Agholor and Smith this summer. The team is high on Agholor after they feel like he made a jump in the offseason thanks to some schematic changes. Agholor finished with only 37 catches (64 targets) for 473 yards and three TDs in 15 games in 2021, and the Patriots also have Jakobi Meyers, Kendrick Bourne and DeVante Parker. Smith finished with 28 catches (45 targets) for 294 yards and one score and was outshined by teammate Hunter Henry, especially in the red zone. Both players could see added opportunities in 2022 in a new offense, but they still face big obstacles for consistent real-life and fantasy production.
