Patriots Mohamed Sanu way ahead of the curve after offseason ankle surgery has huge chip on shoulder now
The 2020 offseason will be remembered as the one where made the decision to leave the for the , but that doesn't mean all is lost for Bill Belichick and
Rich Hill Jersey Co. The quarterback position may still be a question mark, but New England returns some talented weapons that are sure to make either or life easier. One of those weapons is wide receiver , who is rehabbing from an ankle procedure.The Patriots gave the a second-round pick for Sanu in late October, but he didn't make the impact New England was hoping for. In eight games, Sanu caught just 26 pa ses for 207 yards and one touchdown. A high ankle sprain was a big reason Sanu struggled during the second half of the season -- something that his trainer, Hilton Alexander, says is ."I would tell you he's probably faster, quicker, leaner and in better shape now than prior to the surgery," Alexander
Chris Taylor Jersey said, via ESPN. "I would say he's way ahead of any doctor's knowledge or prediction where he would have been at this point. Way ahead of the curve."While Sanu turns 31 this offseason, he's not too far removed from one
Enrique Hernandez Jersey of his best seasons. During his last full year with the Falcons in 2018, Sanu caught 66 pa ses for a career-high 838 yards and four touchdowns. He's someone who can be a leader for young wideouts like and moving forward."I think he knows he was a shell of himself toward the end of the season," said Alexander. "He wasn't in the position where he could do the best he could and be able to offer that Mohamed Sanu that everybody has grown to love all those years in Cinci 2012-15 and Atlanta 2016-2018 ."I know the fans didn't get a chance to see 100% Mohamed Sanu. I promise you,
Joc Pederson Jersey that is a huge chip on his shoulder now."Sanu has been this offseason, and has flashed it on social media over the last few weeks. His "Seeker" is customized in Rutgers red, and he says he uses it at least five times a week while catching pa ses coming out around 45 MPH. The Patriots will finally see what a
Hyun-Jin Ryu Jersey healthy Sanu is capable of next season -- which is something that should help whoever takes over under center for this team.
