Simply put, no quarterback of recent vintage has had to rely on a wider variety of targets than he has. According to ESPN Stats and Information, since 2001, Brady has completed at least 250 passes in the regular season to four different pass catchers over the course of his 12-year career as a starting quarterback: Wes Welker (563), Deion Branch (328), Troy Brown (323) and Kevin Faulk (310). Providing they both stay healthy, it’s a safe bet that two more names will join that list sooner rather than later, as Rob Gronkowski has 187 career receptions from Brady, while Aaron Hernandez has 175.

Thumbs up on the white facemasks, and I guess that’s about the best you can do when your mascot is the antithesis of intimidating.

A film review of Jenkins’ 2012 performance suggests that this is a signing that is more about depth and creating competition rather than finding a replacement for Brandon Lloyd. Jenkins was used as both a split end (“X”) and slot receiver in Minnesota, which focused more on the short-to-intermediate passing game with quarterback Christian Ponder rather than stressing a defense vertically. As it relates to his frame and skill set, Jenkins has a long, wiry build (6-foot-4, 214 pounds), but his speed has faded since the start of his career. He’s at his best finding space against zone coverages, and tries to win in man-to-man coverage with his post up skills and leverage from his size.

It Is What It Is » Report: Patriots will sign WR Michael Jenkins

Been waiting for the Pats to start signing more guys like this, cheap vet WRs and DTs. Most intriguing about Jenkins, at least on the surface, is his size. So, could be cut, could be starting, but when you’re depth chart for legit NFL WRs is Danny Amendola, Donald Jones and uh…. you need every body you can get.
