NFL widows struggled to care for former players with CTE. They say a new study minimizes their pain.

Catching passes is the NFL receiver’s primary source of income.Kyle Williams, a rookie for the Patriots, can see the effects of every drop.

You have a better chance of staying on the field if you make plays. If you miss too many plays, someone else may be invited to take your place.

Don’t drop the money is how I think. According to Meghan Ottolini of WEEI, Williams stated, “It’s always a bag of money when the ball is there.”That belongs to someone else, so we can’t let it fall to the ground.

Simply demonstrating my ability to compete with the league’s best players by making such plays.

With that mindset, the quick third-round pick intends to establish himself in New England. During OTAs, he displayed glimpses of his skill, including a deep touchdown reception from backup quarterback Josh Dobbs.

Ottolini noted that Williams and the other rookies are still present for a development program now that OTAs are completed.

Simply figuring things out, reviewing the plans and maneuvers. “All caught up and getting used to it,” he continued. Being among the rookies has simply been a blessing, strengthening ties and fostering partnerships in all ways.

Williams spent his final season at Washington State catching 70 catches for 1,198 yards and 14 touchdowns. At 17.1 yards per reception on average, he was a big play threat for the Cougars.

Over the past few seasons, the Patriots have lacked many dynamic playmakers. In terms of points scored, they have spent the last two seasons in the bottom three in the league. Since the days of Julian Edelman, they haven’t had a receiver with 1,000 yards. Last season, none of their receivers gained more than 700 yards.

In addition to selecting Williams in the offseason, New England has invested heavily in the receiving room by signing Mack Hollins and Stefon Diggs.

Last season, the Patriots’ wide receiver position was a weakness. One young player had a clever way of summarizing the mindset he brings to the team as they work to get better at the position.
