The New England Patriots did not select a single wide receiver in the 2026 NFL Draft. However, they are already making up for lost time. In the less than 24 hours since the draft ended, the Patriots have already agreed to terms with four wideouts.
Most interesting of the bunch is Cluver-Stockton wide receiver Kyle Dixon. Dixon racked up 24 touchdowns over the past two seasons at the NAIA level. He received a $250,000 signing bonus.

They also signed Nick DeGennaro from James Madison University. DeGennaro is a six-foot, 190-pounder who bounced around from team to team in his collegiate career. He ran a blazing 4.39 forty-yard dash at his Pro Day.
Per a JMU spokesperson, former JMU wide receiver Nick DeGennaro is signing with the New England Patriots.
Jimmy Kibble is the third receiver signed and, once again, a small-school prospect. He played FCS football for Georgetown in the Patriot League. He recorded a 1,000-yard season in his final year.
Cameron Dorner is the final receiver signed. He comes from the biggest college, playing his final season for North Texas, where he earned All-Conference honors.
