"After being selected by the Patriots in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, he would catch just two balls during his rookie year. He was quiet for the bulk of his sophomore campaign as well until he averaged 80 yards across his last three games, including a 117-yard performance in Week 18. Across his first 12 games that season, he'd average just 23.3 yards per game."
"Boutte's breakout came as the No. 2 option behind Stefon Diggs this season. Even with a change in role from a high-volume receiver to a deep threat, Boutte has been a game-changer. And despite a 32% drop in targets compared to '24, Boutte ranked fourth in yards per catch and doubled his touchdowns from a year ago. In two playoff games, he's totaled 141 yards and had an unbelievable one-handed touchdown catch against the Texans to put the game out of reach."
The Patriots added Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and drafted Kyle Williams, but Kayshon Boutte became the team's No. 2 receiving option. Boutte entered college as a five-star recruit from Louisiana and played three seasons at LSU, totaling modest production after a 735-yard freshman year. Drafted in the sixth round in 2023, he caught two passes as a rookie and remained limited early in his second year before finishing strong with multiple high-yard games. This season Boutte shifted to a deep-threat role, ranked fourth in yards per catch, doubled his touchdowns, and produced 141 playoff yards including a one-handed touchdown.
