Patriots coach happy with young wide receivers' work ethic
Briefly

The New England Patriots' wide receiver group remains youthful, raising concerns about their performance in 2024 due to inexperience. However, in 2025, the young receivers have garnered positive feedback from their new coach, Todd Downing, who praised their work ethic and commitment to improvement. Players are actively engaging with coaches outside of practice, seeking additional learning opportunities. This dynamic, alongside recent acquisitions like Stefon Diggs, is viewed favorably by head coach Mike Vrabel, who emphasizes the importance of competitiveness and collaboration to support the team's development this offseason.
The young group, their work ethic has been great. It's been fun to watch them put in the extra time," said wide receivers coach Todd Downing.
I hope that continues and pay dividends as we finish up here in the offseason and in training camp."
We're very early on in the process, but we need that group to compete and have a willingness to go out there and help the quarterback through this spring process."
