Mohamed Sanu, WR

With another week of practice under his belt, expect Mohamed Sanu to have a big game offensively for the New England Patriots.

Yes, 2019 first-round pick N’Keal Harry could be active in this one, but Tom Brady will use Sanu as that big target quick outlet in a similar way he used to use Rob Gronkowski.

With Baltimore Ravens safety Earl Thomas III roaming around and corner Marcus Peters taking away the outside receiver, Mohamed Sanu will have an opportunity to work the middle of the field.

As a savvy veteran receiver, the Brady to Sanu connection will shine in this one.

Speaking to the media on Friday, Brady spoke about his new receiver and explained just way he was a trade deadline must for the Patriots.

"“Everybody likes him, that’s why he’s here,” Brady said, via Patriots.com.  “So, it’s great to have him. I’m excited for him, and again, the more we work together, the better it’s going to be. It’s hard to be on the same page within a week, so we’re just going to try to communicate through things and talk through them. There’s a lot of things that come up in that game, practice, past games, things that he’s done, things that we’ve done that – football’s a game about anticipation. So, the good part is that a veteran player, you know how to play football.”"

What has also been standing out with having Mohamed Sanu on the team is his veteran leadership.  He has quickly taken Harry under his wing which shows his professionalism and approach to the game of football.  That will translate into some big plays for the New England Patriots.
