3rd Down: If Sanu plays, how effective will he be?

On Tuesday the New England Patriots traded for wide receiver Mohamed Sanu, adding to a depleted receiving group. As of this writing, there is no word on whether or not Sanu will play; and if he does, how many snaps he will see on offense. Depending on the number of snaps, how effective will Sanu be?

Here’s what Belichick had to say about Sanu… again via the team’s official website:

"“Smart kid, picks things up well. We’ll see what we can do here. Sometimes as it accumulates – early downs, third down, red area, situational stuff. We’ll see what the load looks like, but he’s made good progress both days.”"

Tom Brady also weighed in on Sanu and his progression in learning the offense during his press conference on Friday. Here’s Brady’s quote from the team website:

"“It’s been a good week, been a good week. It’s been fun to get to know him. I’ve watched him for a long time, and always impressed by his abilities, his attitude. It’s just been great to have him out there, so hopefully we’ll get him up-to-speed as fast as possible.”"

Again, Sanu may be ready to go Sunday… but how effective will he be?
