FOXBORO -- Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte opened up about the challenges of not seeing game action since Week 1 against the Eagles:

"It’s been difficult... it’s a learning experience. It's been 7 weeks and now my name's being called so just got to step up."

His statement reflects the mental toughness required to handle the uncertainty of playing time in the NFL, especially as a rookie who is accustomed to being a regular on the field from his college days.

Taylor Kyles from CLNS Media might take this opportunity to evaluate Boutte's potential impact against the Commanders in Week 9.
