Another Moss to bring in the new era

The Patriots have a glaring tight end problem, and Randy Moss’ son, Thaddeus Moss, just so happens to play the position exceptionally well as a member of this year’s draft class.

I’m not suggesting the Patriots target Moss as their top tight end, but the dream scenario here would be them possibly double-dipping at the position like they did in 2010 with Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez.

Moss has tremendous upside despite facing a slew of skepticism. He isn’t lighting the world on fire like his dad was coming out of Marshall, but he has shown the sort of versatility the Patriots’ receiving corps missed at tight end in 2019.

There is a chance he slips down the draft board due to inexperience. He truly only flashed for one season with the best quarterback in college football last year, but no one can deny the excitement it would bring to New England if he somehow fell to the Patriots late and continued on the same upwards trajectory.

It would be a feel-good moment seeing Belichick coach another Moss, but it would have been even cooler seeing Brady throw to one.

Those aren’t raw onions, Patriots fans. They’re tears of nostalgia.
