"Devin McCourty on Chris Hogan: We have a new QB, let’s bring an old target back"
Patriots made the superbowl multiple years with several players. Chris Hogan was good but he wasn't the it factor. Chris Hogan's Last year with the Patriots, he caught 35 passes for 532 yards and 3 Touchdowns. Phillip Dorsett who got injured and also game planned out of one game had 29 catches for 397 yards and 5 touchdowns. Don't forget Hogan couldn't get seperation in his final year. Seven eleven was closed, and Belichick got rid of the inconvenience store.
Chris Hogan is 32 and coming off an Injury. Hogan had a down year with the Patriots in his final year and things just have not looked good for him. If the Patriots want to bring back a former receiver, may I suggest Austin Carr. He is only 26 and after being stolen by Sean Peyton to New Orleans got buried and developed. If there was any coach who has proven he can develop receivers it's Peyton. Carr would come at a much cheaper price and can do everything Hogan can do.
Carr played in 20 games as the number 5/6 receiver. He caught 10 passes for 106 yards and 2 Touchdowns. Carr is also a better jump ball receiver than Hogan. Carr finished his 2019 season on the IR with an ankle injury in November.
The Glory days are nice but nobody is calling for Corey Dillion, Drew Bledsoe or Troy Brown to suit back up. Players stop being productive and Bill moves on. That's the Patriots way, it's the reason why the Patriots have built dominance and are the gold standard in the NFL.
