Patriots Newcomer Receives Big Endorsement From Star Quarterback

The New England Patriots have high expectations from K.J. Osborn. They entered the offseason with a few major holes on the roster and they do need to find a No.1 wide receiver. Osborn is super confident about his skill set and so is Kirk Cousins. The star quarterback had great words to say about the Patriots newcomer. They know each other well as they have played together for four seasons.

Osborn will enter his first season away from the Minnesota Vikings. He didn’t really get a chance to show his true skills with his former team. It’s not like the Vikings gave him any. He was down on the depth chart and there wasn’t much to be done.

QB Cousins has great respect for the Patriots newcomer

Cousins likes Osborn’s potential and everything he brings to the football field. The Patriots decided to give him a chance and Cousins would love to see the wide receiver shine in New England. He needed a chance in scenery and that’s exactly what the Patriots provided.

“K.J. Osborn is a receiver who was with us in Minnesota who was kind of in the shadow of Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen,” Cousins said on a recent episode of “The Big Podcast with Shaq,” as transcribed by MassLive. “And I always felt like K.J. was better than the opportunities he got. He went to free agency and went to New England, and I’d love to see him have a huge year in New England kind of with a bigger role than what he had in Minnesota to show what he could do.”

The Patriots have yet to make any major moves regarding their roster situation. Their wideout unit needs depth. Rookie DeMario Douglas has high hopes for his first campaign. Kendrick Bourne is also gearing up for a brilliant season.

Being signed by the Patriots was a big deal for Osborn. He promised to give his best shot on the field and hopefully, develop into the No.1 receiver for New England.
