While not everything has gone right for the team, there are several encouraging developments through three games, with one of the biggest of the bunch being the\u00a0play of the team\u2019s rookies.<\/p>\n<p>Will Campbell, Jared Wilson, Craig Woodson and Andy Borregales have all earned starting roles with the team, with guys like TreVeyon Henderson and Joshua Farmer also factoring into the mix. One guy who has been surprisingly quiet is third-round rookie wide receiver Kyle Williams.<\/p>\n<p>During training camp, Williams was one of the Patriots\u2019 top players, and it seemed like he could earn a role on offense right out of the gate. Instead, he\u2019s caught just two passes, despite being active for all three games.<\/p>\n<p>New England has a crowded depth chart at wide receiver, with Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte, Demario Douglas and Mack Hollins coming in ahead of him. Williams knows he has to bide his time, but his recent comments made it sound like he believes he\u2019s\u00a0ready for a bigger role\u00a0with the team.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe have a lot of guys ahead of me that are capable of doing everything just as well, and they all have great traits to their game that benefit this offense,\u201d Williams said, per Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston. \u201cFor me, it\u2019s just, you know, we have a lot of vets in front of me and I\u2019m just a rook. Right now, I\u2019m just waiting for my turn.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>While Boutte enjoyed a strong outing against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 1, the Patriots have otherwise struggled to get consistent production from the wide receiver position. Could giving Williams some snaps in place of a struggling Douglas be a switch the coaching staff is willing to make?<\/p>\n<div class=\"nesn-in-content-ad\"><\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s still early in the season, so New England likely isn\u2019t ready to make any drastic changes yet. If their offense remains in a rut, though, it may be worth giving Williams a longer look to see if he can contribute on offense sooner than expected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<div id=\"taboola-below-article-thumbnails\" class=\"trc_related_container tbl-feed-container render-late-effect tbl-feed-frame-DIVIDER\" data-feed-container-num=\"1\" data-feed-main-container-id=\"taboola-below-article-thumbnails\" data-parent-placement-name=\"Below Article Thumbnails\" data-pub-lang=\"en\">\n<div id=\"taboola-below-article-thumbnails-pl1\" class=\"tbl-feed-card trc_related_container tbl-trecs-container trc_spotlight_widget trc_elastic trc_elastic_thumbs-feed-01-a-delta\" data-card-index=\"1\" data-placement-name=\"Below Article Thumbnails | Card 1\">\n<div class=\"trc_rbox_container\">\n<div>\n<div id=\"trc_wrapper_5187733620\" class=\"trc_rbox thumbs-feed-01-a-delta trc-content-sponsored\">\n<div id=\"outer_5187733620\" class=\"trc_rbox_outer\">\n<div id=\"rbox-t2v\" class=\"trc_rbox_div trc_rbox_border_elm\">\n<div id=\"internal_trc_5187733620\">\n<div class=\"videoCube trc_spotlight_item origin-default textItem thumbnail_top videoCube_1_child syndicatedItem trc-first-recommendation trc-spotlight-first-recommendation trc_excludable\" data-item-id=\"~~V1~~2150433031235942837~~sO4wIUhMgfMvsxbQZhg6m2GRIPd81ULY7EeqVPh-2eFX0Y1p638VbFQBn088-wXB3vN7PVS2Xh2UsO7ttEqokIv_voBI57cJhhm3Dc2obN-qBYW0RT9jfcgbRNqjUfZXC8uXJ4j4BOZNvoU2MFzh63StpMJN4qRUPnM1Qs4xBRRBCY4PkDxQbovIkyqKMWWMWJJ0IA6Mx3g7txO8pzuPwaA2N6r9IS3wRjWKLMujreM\" data-item-title=\"Gi\u00e1 v\u00e0ng \u0111ang t\u0103ng m\u1ea1nh trong n\u0103m 2025 \u2014 C\u00e1c nh\u00e0 giao d\u1ecbch th\u00f4ng minh \u0111\u00e3 tham gia\" data-item-thumb=\"https:\/\/cdn.taboola.com\/libtrc\/static\/thumbnails\/bb5bd46c031bee0bf3ab4b963c4298de.jpg\" data-item-syndicated=\"true\">\n<div class=\"thumbBlock_holder\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patriots Rookie Gets Brutally Honest On Lack Of Playing Time Kyle Williams has played sparingly through three games &nbsp;
