The New England Patriots, despite having a ton of money to play with this offseason, didn't sign a ton of top-shelf free agents.
Arguably their biggest addition so far has been wide receiver K.J. Osborn, who signed a one-year, $4 million deal with the team following a four-year stint with the Minnesota Vikings.
While Osborn looks to make a name for himself with a new franchise, he'll have at least one of his former teammates rooting for him.
Speaking on "The Big Podcast with Shaq," new Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins named Osborn as the former team that he would love to see have a breakout year.
"Pretty much all of them, but K.J. Osborn is a receiver who was with us in Minnesota who was kinda in the shadow of Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen, and I always felt like K.J. was better than the opportunities he got," Cousins said. "He went to free agency and went to New England, and I'd love to see him have a huge year in New England kinda with a bigger role than what he had in Minnesota to show what he could do."
In four seasons in Minnesota, Osborn recorded 158 receptions for 1,845 yards and 15 touchdowns. He filled in well whenever one of the top two went down.
Now, he enters a Patriots receiver room that's nowhere near as talented, so as the roster is currently constructed, he has a chance to compete for the top spot at the position.
