Tom E. Curran and Phil Perry are high on Patriots wide receiver DeMario "Pop" Douglas ahead of the 2025 NFL season.

DeMario Douglas has been one of the best receivers at Patriots training camp, and a reliable target for Drake Maye.

Pop Douglas discussed the biggest play of camp so far for the Patriots, which he credited to his comfort playing "fastbreak football."

Fourth-round rookie Joshua Farmer and former practice-squad signing Jaquelin Roy were first off the bench with Tonga. Farmer and Roy struggled in 1-on-1 pass rush, where the rookie got tossed to the ground and Roy lost both reps.

The New England Patriots' wide receiver room has experienced a massive overhaul this past offseason. While some contributors like Kendrick Bourne, DeMario Douglas, and Ja'Lynn Polk remain, the Patriots have acquired four new wideouts who could find themselves on the 53-man roster by the end of
