Kendrick Bourne Not Guaranteed To Make Roster
2 years agoThe Athletic's Chad Graff doesn't think New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne will be guaranteed a roster spot out of training camp this summer. JuJu Smith-Schuster, Tyquan Thornton and DeVante Parker are essentially roster locks, with Bourne competing with Kayshon Boutte and Demario Douglas for one of the final spots. Bourne will need to re-prove that he belongs, with Boutte being the most interesting player to watch in camp. The 27-year-old Bourne caught 35 of his 48 targets for 434 yards and a touchdown in 16 games for New England last year, adding 39 rushing yards on six carries. It was a drop-off in production from the previous year, and he won't be guaranteed any sort of playing time if he makes the roster this fall.
