The perplexing and quiet start to wide receiver Kendrick Bourne’s 2022 campaign continued into Week 5 when he recorded just a single reception on a lone target against the Detroit Lions.<\/p>\n
Overall, Bourne has just 10 receptions for 139 yards and zero touchdowns on 13 targets through the first five games and appeared to get into an argument<\/a> with Bill Belichick in the second quarter.<\/p>\n Despite his seemingly low usage thus far and potential disagreements, Belichick remained supportive of the wideout who had a career year just one season ago\u00a0during his weekly appearance<\/a> on WEEI’s The Greg Hill Show.<\/p>\n \u201cI love KB,\u201d Belichick said.\u00a0\u201cHe\u2019s very passionate about the game, his performance, the team\u2014works hard and has helped us and will help us. It\u2019s great to have him on the field because he\u2019s an explosive player. He\u2019s one of our key guys in the passing game. We\u2019re always working to try to improve, do things better, and nobody works harder at it than KB. He always practices hard, works hard in practice. And I don\u2019t think that\u2019ll change. That\u2019s just who he is. He loves football, and he competes well.\u201d<\/p>\n After Sunday’s game, Bourne shared a curious Instagram post referencing his limited play by saying “when you do nothing in the group project and get an A”.<\/p>\n\n
