When you meet Keion White in person, the first you notice about him is his size. He is a big man. He also has a serious demeanor and a face that could serve as the model for a bust in the Peo Football Hall of Fame. Maybe someday, White will end up there. For now White is just focused on his first training camp and getting acclimated to playing in…
Patriots Camp Preview: Tight Ends
Bill Belichick has always wanted to play in 12 personnel (2TE’s, 2WR’s, 1 RB) Going back to his days with the Giants and the Browns, Belichick sees the value in the personnel grouping.

After the season, Bill Belichick hired former Patriots offensive lineman and veteran offensive line coach Adrian Klemm to help fix this unit. Klemm’s first order of business is to figure out who his right tackle will be. With Conor McDermott and free agent additions Calvin Anderson and Riley Reiff all in the mix to…
Sights and sounds from Patriots training camp – Day 2
Another day, another two hours of special teams and red zone work. The offense struggled on Thursday, but it’s to be expected after all the guys that were out during OTA’s and mini camp. Plus, the installation of Bill O’Brien’s offense is going to take time, so the defense will be ahead of the offense for a bit. It wasn’t all bad for the offense though… -Bailey Zappe and Mac…
