SAN FRANCISCO — During his third NFL season, Kayshon Boutte has developed into a legitimate deep threat.
The Patriots wideout hauled in 33 catches for 551 yards and six touchdowns during the regular season, and his 16.7 yards per catch was fourth most in the NFL among receivers with at least 20 receptions.

At the Santa Clara Marriott on Tuesday morning, Boutte had a simple explanation for his terrific season.
“ Drake Maye ,” Boutte replied, per the Boston Herald.
Boutte caught 71.7% of his targets from Maye during the regular season, and the two displayed excellent chemistry on deep passes.
The 23-year-old wideout has caught eight passes for 147 yards in the playoffs, and his 32-yard touchdown grab against the Texans was one of New England ’s highlights of the postseason.
“I always knew Drake was that guy,” Boutte said via the Herald. “I always did believe in him, believe in what he could do. When you practice with a guy every day, you see his ability, what he’s able to do, so I’ve always been a Drake Maye believer.”
