The New England Patriots brought in a major addition to the team last offseason by signing Kendrick Bourne.
Bourne, 26, spent his first four seasons with the San Francisco 49ers and he only surpassed 500 yards in a season one time. The Patriots were taking a risk by signing him to a three-year, $15 million contract — but, it worked out perfectly. He finished last season with 55 catches for 800 yards and five touchdowns.
Not only did Bourne add value on the field, he was a huge locker room player who lifted the Patriots’ energy in practice and games. New England spent a ton of money last offseason and Bourne was likely the best veteran contract that was picked up.
