Aside from receiver Julian Edelman, the Patriots have no proven receiving threats on their roster. Factor in that quarterback Tom Brady will be playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020, New England doesn’t know who will replace him, and the Patriots’ offense looks very dubious. Playing with little to no quarterback help is not new for Hopkins, who earned one of his three All-Pros in 2017, a year where Deshaun Watson played six-and-a-half games for Houston and the combo of Tom Savage and T.J. Yates played the other nine-and-a-half en route to a 4-12 finish.
