| Veteran Torry Holt Providing Leadership To Young Patriots Receivers | | |
It's been merely more than a week since Torry Holt arrived in Foxboro, and he has already made an impact on New England's young wide receivers. Holt showed up to Gillette Stadium last week for the Patriots' voluntary offseason workouts, and he is doing his part to take second-year wideouts Julian Edelman and Brandon Tate under his veteran wing. Holt, who turns 34 next month, did the same thing in Jacksonville last season with Mike Sims-Walker, and he'd like to think it played a tangible role in Sims-Walker's breakout season. "[Sims-Walker] stepped out and did some great things," Holt said. "Hopefully, this year he can continue. It's about consistency in this league. Now teams know about [Sims-Walker]. They had a whole year to study him, what he does well, what he doesn't do well. They're studying him, and he has to counter that. Those are the things you have to talk to young receivers about. That was one of the things I talked to Edelman about. Now, teams have a year to study you. They know what you do well, what you don't do well, how they like to use you. Now, you have to put yourself in a position where you can counter that, give yourself some more options. That's how you stay relevant. That's how you stay consistent, and that's how you become a good football player in the National Football League."
