Josh Gordon has only been with the New England Patriots for a few weeks but he is really enjoying his time in Foxborough, especially the smaller role he has taken on offense. There was a ton of pressure and talk about Gordon with the Browns, but with the Patriots he has been able to blend in, and just play football.
“It's a relief, if anything,” Gordon told reporters. “Guys get to sit back a little bit and watch everybody do their own thing but make sure not to forget that you're also a part of this. When my opportunity presents itself, when my number gets called, I'm gonna go out there and give 100 percent, just like everybody else.”
Josh Gordon finished with two receptions, one of which was an impressive touchdown that was Tom Brady's 500th of his career. Gordon said it was such a cool experience to be a part of history and to help the team win a game.

Gordon only played 20 snaps against the Colts which seems low for a guy who used to be a number one receiver but it's clear Gordon is enjoying the backseat he is taking.
Without the pressure, it could also help him stay on the straight and narrow, and it seems like the Patriots have a good system in place to help him with that.
