Mohamed Sanu opens up about difficult tenure with Patriots Sanu opens up about difficult tenure with  Patriots  originally appeared on  NBC Sports Boston Before last year's NFL trade deadline, the New England Patriots traded away a second-round pick to the  Atlanta Falcons  for wide receiver Mohamed Sanu. Sanu was supposed to be the missing piece to the puzzle for a Patriots offense that needed another weapon for then-quarterback  Tom Brady . Unfortunately, the trade turned out to be one of the worst of the Bill Belichick era. In eight games, Sanu caught only 26 passes for 207 yards and one touchdown.
