Bourne recently shared the following career goals via Instagram.
- Be a starter
- Always be a leader
- Wake up early
- Win a Super Bowl
- Become a 1,000-yard receiver
- Be legendary
While Bourne has surpassed 1,000 yards receiving, that total has been throughout his three NFL seasons. The receiver reached a career-high 487 receiving yards and four touchdowns after hauling in 42 passes in 2018. Last season, he had a career-high five touchdown receptions on 30 catches that went for 358 receiving yards.
"I'm just trying to take it to the top," Bourne said last month. "I'm trying to be one of the top-paid guys, top-tier guys. That's what my goal has been since I was a kid. It's so crazy that it's here now. You've just got to take advantage of the opportunity, not let it slip by."
Bourne has shown that he is capable of being a clutch receiver. Twenty-three of his 30 receptions last season resulted in either a first down or a score.
Bourne also caught six passes for 88 yards and a score in the playoffs, including two catches for 42 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIV. Five of those six catches went for either a first down or a touchdown.
