It Is What It Is » In Focus: What Kellen Winslow’s addition means for Patriots’ offense
Winslow’s body type (6-foot-4, 240 pounds) is more along the lines of the longer, leaner Hernandez (6-foot-1, 245 pounds). As evidenced by his career receiving numbers, the University of Miami product is more of a pass catcher than blocker, and if he’s healthy (there are questions about the health of his knees), he can provide the sort of support in the passing game that Hoomanawanui and Fells might not be able to offer. While he doesn’t have the same sort of positional versatility that Hernandez does — and it should take him some time to get up to speed in the passing game — Winslow should take a sizable portion of the snaps that Hernandez received in the New England offense.
