I'd pump the brakes on that - we said the same thing about Gronkowski and Chandler, Gronkowski and that injured guy from the Giants who never played, Ben Watson and Daniel Graham, and Ben Coates and Marv Cook.....

I don't know.. We knew Chandler was already inconsistent, and Ballard was never the same after his serious knee injury.

Bennett, on the other hand, has a solid body of work.

It only remains to see if he can grasp the modified EP system. As he has an above average football IQ, I think the odds are good that he finds a way to fit in.

Bennett is only one piece of an offense that is going to absolutely tear up opponents D's this season.....especially with Dante's tutelage along the OL........

I am EXCITED ....stay relatively healthy and a SB appearance is a lock.......

Of course, in the Patriots Cinematic Universe, his uni might look more like this...

Most of us had a couple of "?s" when it came to the success of Chandler. We were hopeful that with good coaching he could overcome his poor hands and inconsistent blocking.

With Bennet, there is really just one "?". It is the same question that all "receivers" have when joining the Pats; Will he grasp the offense and get on the same page as Brady.

What exactly was wrong with Ben Coates on the goaline?

That's Deion Branch on 'roids. Welcome to NE, MB. You will like playing here, even if it's only for a year.
I have no worries about him fitting in. None.

I am very excited to see how good Bennett is. I am not worried about him getting the offense. This offense is a lot easier to get for TEs and RBs than WRs. Also Bennett does not need 90 catches to be considered a success. 50 is fine and he will likely get that falling out of bed.

Ben Coates is one of the most underrated players in NFL history.

Based on how DA, JE and Deion are feeling to start the year we just might see Bennett be in the top 5 in catches in the league at the end of Sept.

 

[Wheelman]

He doesn't look that big without pads. Interesting!

 

[Joey007]

He looks very dangerous.

Ben Coates is one of the most underrated players in NFL history.

Agreed. From 1993 to 1998 he was the best all-around TE in football.

Hes another player who should be in the Patriots HoF.

 

[Bourne Again Christian]

Tall lean and explosive with hands to match.
He may have more Tds then a double covered Gronk

No but hes every bit 6-6 260-ish
