The New England Patriots have concluded their first full week of OTAs Thursday. As OTAs started one of the main focuses of the team and its fans is how they will replace Wes Welker and give Tom Brady more weapons to work with at the wide receiver position. As Patriots fans know, the Patriots signed former St. Louis Rams wide receiver Danny Amendola who is expected to replace Welker's role in the offense.
The Patriots also drafted Marshall wide receiver Aaron Dobson and TCU wide receiver Josh Boyce in hopes of improving the position. Lastly, the Patriots also signed wideout Michael Jenkins who played the last two years with the Minnesota Vikings as well as former Buffalo wideout Donald Jones and ex-Tennessee Titans wide receiver Lavelle Hawkins to bring some experience to the group.
One man who many fans didn't really hear from this offseason about free agency was Tom Brady himself. That was until he broke the silence and talked on the Dennis & Callahan Morning Show on WEEI radio on Thursday Morning. In the interview Brady first talked about the wide receivers as a whole and then went into further detail about Danny Amendola. Specifically, he addressed the comparison between Amendola and Welker that many have been making. Andy Hart, a writer for Patriots Football Weekly, cites what Tom Brady had to say about the comparison.
