Some aren’t pleased with JuJu Smith-Schuster’s early returns with the New England Patriots but don’t count fellow receiver Kendrick Bourne among them.
Bourne, who currently paces the Patriots with 139 yards and 14 receptions, said that the group isn't looking for any scoreboard-breaking, fantasy-winning, highlight-reel-hitting efforts. Instead, they're focusing on growing chemistry and camaraderie as the team works through an awkward but potentially rewarding season where several players lock down or lose their Foxborough futures.
"In the room, we don’t look at it as trying to be No. 1. We look at it as, ‘We’re working together.’ So, whoever’s game it is, it’s their game and whoever’s game it’s not, it’s just not. I think we do a good job of understanding that, and that’s going to help us in the long run.” "Just to the people: Y’all got to understand that there’s so much more that goes into it than just getting 100 yards every game,” Bourne said. “We’re not trying to do that."
