A top talent

When Josh Gordon is on the field he is quite amazing. In 2013, Gordon had 87 catches for 1,646 yards and 9 touchdowns for the Cleveland Browns.

Now do I expect Gordon to perform at that level? No, but I think he is better than the New England Patriots current options.

The Patriots only red zone threat is Rob Gronkowski. This means defenses can just focus in on him when the Patriots are down in the red zone. Also, New England is known for its “dink and dunk” passes. Gordon would add a new aspect to the offense.

Even with his struggles off the field, his talent makes up for it. I think New England would be a good fit for Gordon. A culture like New England that is hyper-focused on football could be good for him.

Anyways even if Josh Gordon doesn’t work out, is it really that big of a deal?
