FOXBOROUGH – Day 3 of 2024 training camp is in the books for the Pats and while there wasn’t a whole ton of action again, it was easily the best atmosphere so far. Bleachers were full and the sun was out (still way too hot for me though) and it was much louder as well. There were a few spots where the fans got a glimpse of what could be…

FOXBOROUGH – It was another cloudy but comfortable day behind Gillette Stadium on Thursday as the Pats were back out for Day 2 of training camp. Practice went just about 15 minutes longer than it did on Monday, with a few noteworthy things happening. It’s worth prefacing all of these write ups for the next few days by saying it’s really hard to take much away from what’s going on,…

FOXBOROUGH – It may not feel like football season around here as far as buzz for the Patriots, but it’s here whether everyone’s ready or not. The Patriots officially kicked off training camp on Wednesday with the first practice, which was a 1.5 hour(ish) session that marked the first training camp practice without Bill Belichick running the show in 25 years. Jerod Mayo spoke with the media prior to the…

FOXBOROUGH – It felt like the first day of school at Gillette Stadium on Tuesday. Veterans reported to training camp as first year head coach Jerod Mayo met the media early on in the day. Mayo spoke for just over 20 minutes, answering questions from a packed room of reporters and TV cameras. Mayo’s press conferences will have a much different tone and he has already been far more open…

Rolling along with our position previews before camp starts Wednesday by taking a look at both the inside and outside backers for the Pats. It’ll be two separate pieces, so let’s start with the guys inside first… Under Contact: Ja’Whaun Bentley, Jahlani Tavai, Sione Takitaki, Joe Giles-Harris Positional breakdown: Fans may not realize it, but your new veteran linebacker leaders are now Ja’Whaun Bentley and Jahlani Tavai.

The UFL Draft was held on Wednesday and several local college prospects were drafted. It is important to point out that many of the rookies drafted are already on NFL rosters heading into camp.  The players in the UFL draft pool were eligible for the 2024 NFL Draft but were not selected and signed as undrafted free agents with teams. A player must be at least three years removed from…

Our next positional preview is at safety, where the Pats might sneaky have the best duo in the league.
