Patriots rookie WR Ja’Lynn Polk turns heads with pre-game attire

Rookie wide receiver Ja’Lynn Polk arrived at Gillette Stadium ahead of Thursday’s preseason game wearing Randy Moss’ iconic New England Patriots jersey.

Moss is arguably the greatest receiver of all time, and his arrival in New England for the 2007 season sparked an offensive juggernaut the likes of which the NFL had never seen. An argument could still be made that the 2007 Patriots were the greatest offensive team in NFL history.

Polk wore Moss’ No. 81 jersey out of respect for the legendary receiver before taking to the field to face the Philadelphia Eagles in the Patriots’ Week 2 preseason matchup.

He’ll try to do his best Moss impression when facing an Eagles team with one of the top defensive units in the league.

There is a lot of hope riding on Polk emerging as one of the Patriots’ top offensive contributors. The rookie has shown strong hands and the ability to make tough catches.

He’s clearly the future in New England paying homage to the past.
