OTAs are a chance for veterans and rookies to get to know and learn from each other, and it appears that New England Patriots veteran receiver Stefon Diggs and second-year wideout Ja'Lynn Polk are doing just that.
A video surfaced of Diggs working with Polk on the sidelines during an OTAs practice session.
Polk, a second-round draft pick, is looking to bounce back after a disappointing rookie campaign. He recorded 12 catches for 87 yards and a touchdown last season. There are no guarantees that he'll even make the team with 12 receivers currently on the roster.
It could be a huge help for the struggling young receiver to be working alongside and getting tips from a four-time Pro Bowl receiver in Diggs.
There was hope that Diggs would be more than just an offensive weapon for the Patriots. At 31 years old, he's also the most experienced wide receiver on the roster. He could serve as a mentor on a roster loaded with receiver talent.
Both Polk and Diggs were limited participants at OTAs due to injuries. However, Diggs is expected to be the top receiving option for quarterback Drake Maye when he's fully healthy. Polk has shown flashes of high-end potential at practice, but he hasn't been able to put it together on the field in games.
Perhaps he can finally unlock his full potential by learning from a star player like Diggs.
