It has been a couple of days since the New England Patriots made the huge move of acquiring star wide receiver Josh Gordon from the Cleveland Browns in a trade on Monday afternoon.
Gordon has finally taken the field with his new team as had went with a slight number change from 12 to 10 with the Patriots as Tom Brady already holds his previous number that he wore with the Browns.

Since the move became official, the Patriots have continued to speak about the move with hopes that he can quickly pick up the playbook while keeping his personal life in order to keep his focus on football first. Gordon is a unique talent that has shown he can become a legitimate No.1 wide receiver in the passing game when given the opportunity to play. He has big-play ability while can be a mismatch nightmare for opposing defenders due to his size and speed, which is an element that the Patriots have missed their group of wide receivers since the days of Hall of Famer Randy Moss.
This could be Gordon's chance to take advantage of an opportune situation where he could establish himself as one of the premier wide receivers in the league while experience winning at a high level for the first time in NFL. He has the scenario in front of him where he may be a big part of the offensive puzzle in helping push the Patriots toward another deep playoff run to compete for the Super Bowl for the fourth time in the last five years.
It is now in his hands to make the most of this situation that could dictate how the rest of his NFL career will play out as this could be the final chance to prove that he can excel both on and off the field.
