"Interestingly, they are a contrast in origins. The units include two solid veteran free agent additions at wide receiver, two 2024 receivers, and a tight end. All have contributed to a revitalized Patriots offense (along with an 80 percent new offensive line) and helped turn a doormat into a possible AFC East title winner. Hunter Henry continues to be an underrated part of the Patriots' offense since arriving in 2021"
"Hunter Henry has continued to flash Pro-Bowl-level quality. Against the Bengals in a hard-fought but sloppy tilt, Henry was a difference-maker. He caught 7 passes for 115 yards and a touchdown when the offense was on the ropes with an inconsistent and out-of-sync Drake Maye and a stumbling running game. Henry picked up the slack and had one of, if not his very best, games as a Patriot."
Demario Douglas and Hunter Henry each caught 66 passes in 2024, a serviceable but unspectacular output. In 2025 the wide receiver and tight end units are performing at a much higher level and significantly supporting second-year quarterback Drake Maye's development. The groups combine veteran free-agent wideouts, two 2024 receivers, and a tight end, and work alongside an offensive line that is 80 percent new. Hunter Henry, in his tenth NFL season and nearing 31, has produced 41 catches for 537 yards and five touchdowns, with 29 catches resulting in first downs. Austin Hooper has 16 catches.
