New England Patriots: 5 observations from drenching of Cleveland Browns
3. Mohamed Sanu will fit in just fine
Newly acquired wide receiver Mohamed Sanu got his first action in a New England Patriots uniform on Sunday afternoon.
How did he do?
While Sanu wasn’t targeted as much as Antonio Brown was in his first and only game with the Patriots, he did show some signs that he is going to fit in just find catching the ball from Tom Brady.
With just two receptions for 23 yards, it wasn’t a great debut, but it does show that Mohamed Sanu will have to be worked into the offense. Once he is, he will be a viable weapon for Brady, who is working in another new playmaker on offense.
"“You know, I think we’re just going to try to find ways to keep incorporating everybody,” Brady said of his first impressions of Sanu, via Patriots.com. “He worked really hard this week to really get up to speed and to play as much as he did. I think it’s just going to be more and more confidence as he keeps going. He made a huge catch for us on fourth down, had a good crosser that he made a nice catch on, so keep just trying to find ways to get him the ball.”"
With time and more practices under his belt, the New England Patriots will find ways to get Sanu more touches than just the five targets on Sunday afternoon. You know Brady will look more his way as he becomes more experienced within the offense.
