5/23/25	Patriots' Embattled WR Has 'Immense' Potential. Last year, the New England Patriots selected a pair of wide receivers in the NFL Draft, nabbing Ja'Lynn Polk and Javon Baker in the second and fourth rounds, respectively. Both were expected to play significant roles for the Patriots right off the bat, but that did not happen. Instead, Polk and Baker combined for 13 catches, with the former accounting for 12 of them. Baker was targeted just four times, and even his attempted efforts on special teams went to waste. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/patriots/news/new-england-p...

4/24/25	NFL Rumors: Patriots 'Considered' This Option In Second Round. The Patriots didn't see quick results with their second-round pick last year, but they could redeem themselves with a dynamic selection in this year's NFL draft. New England selected Ja'Lynn Polk with the No. 37 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and it was a rough rookie season for the Washington product. The pick was made even worse due to Ladd McConkey's standout season; the Los Angeles Chargers traded up with the Patriots to select the wide receiver.

2/26/25	What Eliot Wolf Determined Was Cause For Patriots Receiver's Struggles. When the New England Patriots selected Ja'Lynn Polk in the second round of last year's NFL Draft, they viewed him as a plug-and-play type of player. Polk struggled mightily and didn't help himself with the proclamation that he had the “best hands in the league,” which he couldn't back up on the field. Like he did for the season as a whole, Patriots executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf shouldered some of the blame for Polk's ineffectiveness.

2/21/25	Steve Smith Sr. rips Patriots WR coaches for Ja'Lynn Polk's struggles. NFL legend Steve Smith Sr. believes New England Patriots coaches deserve some blame for holding rookie wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk back during his first year with the team. The Patriots skipped over Ladd McConkey and used a second-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft to select Polk, who only mustered 12 catches for 87 yards and two touchdowns. Polk struggled with dropped passes and creating separation against opposing defenses. Smith believes that the Patriots' coaches, specifically Tiquan Underwood, did not put Polk in a position to succeed. Source: https://patriotswire.usatoday.com/2025/02/21/steve...
2/16/25	Patriots WR Shares Strong Message After Rough Season. New England Patriots rookie receiver Ja'Lynn Polk had far from a strong rookie season in 2024. After getting selected to New England with the No. 37 overall pick out of Washington in last spring's draft, Polk faded into the background of the wide receiver room after only hauling in 12 catches for 87 yards and two touchdowns. Polk posted a workout video to his Snapchat story with the caption, "That get back year," potentially hinting at some second-season development in the works.

New England Patriots wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk shared a workout video of himself doing lunges, while still on the mend from the shoulder injury that kept him out of the regular season finale against the Buffalo Bills. Things have been quiet on Polk's end since the season ended. It was a disappointing rookie campaign for the former University of Washington standout, who was drafted in the second round in 2024 and only mustered 12 catches for 87 yards and two touchdowns.

2/06/25	Patriots Veteran Gets Brutally Honest on Team's WRs. The New England Patriots probably had the worst receiving corps in football this past season, so they will definitely need to address the position in the coming months. So, what exactly was the problem for the Patriots' receivers in 2024? New England drafted a couple of wide outs in Ja'Lynn Polk and Javon Baker last April, but neither of them panned out in Year 1. The Pats also clearly did not have a legitimate top-tier talent on the roster. But cornerback Jonathan Jones feels that the issue runs deeper than that. “I think the talent is there,” Jones said on 98.5 The Sports Hub. “It's just the mental aspect of it, you know, coming into a place like New England — it's a tough place to come into.

Osborn and Kendrick Bourne) for quarterbacks Jacoby Brissett and Drake Maye to throw to. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/new-england-pa...
1/06/25	Eliot Wolf admits major organizational shortcoming for Patriots. The New England Patriots are one of the worst teams in football for a second consecutive season. Executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf admitted a major organizational shortcoming in development, particularly at the wide receiver position, when reflecting on the 2024 season.

12/28/24	Perry: Ja'Lynn Polk trending in wrong direction entering Chargers game. FOXBORO -- What are the stakes? The Patriots have very little to play for when it comes to the standings. If anything, there should be some level of attempting to at the very least match last year's atrocious four-win record. Yet, the stakes exist. They exist for a coaching staff with a couple of coordinators whose seats should be warm with the offseason approaching . They exist for a roster full of players whose 2025 whereabouts are uncertain, needing to put out as much competent tape as possible as they hope to earn jobs for next season.
