The Patriots were torched by Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey on Saturday — just months after passing on the Georgia product in the 2024 NFL Draft. During April’s draft, New England, who was in the market for a wide receiver, had a shot to take McConkey with the 34th overall pick.

Rookie WR Ladd McConkey had two TD receptions and could have had a third if Justin Herbert didn’t overthrow him. After the second TD catch, McConkey walked over to the stands and called down his aunt and handed her the football.
