In the last several days, New England Patriots star wide receiver Josh Gordon has become a talking point around the organization due to the dialogue about his possible tardiness.
Despite these reports, the Patriots have stuck firm behind Gordon throughout the entire process. It is something he has voiced his appreciation toward the organization for their patience with him in the opportunity he has received with the franchise. (h/t Henry McKenna of Patriots Wire)
“I’m getting all the opportunity that I could want. Patience from the treatment staff, coaching staff, teammates,” Josh Gordon said. “Everybody’s helped me along the way. It’s been a great opportunity and experience.”
This situation aside, Gordon has quickly fit into the fold as a key piece to the puzzle, which has seen him play a major role in helping the team take a huge step forward behind the current five-game winning streak, pushing them back atop of the AFC East.

He has been productive over that stretch, recording 17 catches for 266 receiving yards and a touchdown. This includes a 100 receiving yard performance on four catches against the Chicago Bears, while tallying at least four receptions in each of the last three games played.
Gordon has the game-changing talent that has brought another element to the table for the Patriots. He is a dynamic wide receiver who has all the physical traits that give the team a legitimate No.1 wide receiver. Although his production has fluctuated a bit, there is an obvious growing level of comfort that could see him continue to see his role grow as the season moves along.
That said, his actions off the field will be something that will continue to be monitored by the organization in order to help keep him on the right track.
