Three players really stuck out. Quarterback Tom Brady was efficient and accurate with his throws, and wide receiver Jabar Gaffney and Aaron Hernandez shined on the other side of them. After dropping a ball during skeleton drills, Gaffney caught everything thrown his way in team drills, including a 50-yard touchdown pass down the right sideline from Brady. Hernandez didn’t catch as many passes, but his explosion out of his cuts was very noticeable, especially on the first day of camp. He broke away from defenders with a gear that other players weren’t showing on day one. It’s also worth noting that Hernandez stuck with the wide receivers during positional drills at the start of the session.

Chandler Jones not doing anything to win me over…

For those of you who don’t know, I’m kind of a big “look” guy. Put it this way, I appreciate the aesthetics of a football player with a good number/helmet/facemask/etc. ensemble.

Double knee braces on anyone other than an offensive lineman is never a good look. And for a pass rusher it’s boarderline unacceptable. C’mon Chandler! If I could give him my helmet to carry I would.

Since 2008, there have been 20 receivers with more than 65 targets of at least 21 yards downfield. The only one not to drop a deep ball? Brandon Lloyd (88 targets).

Over the past two seasons, with Josh McDaniels as his head coach or primary offensive coordinator, Lloyd was the most targeted receiver on throws deeper than 20 yards downfield, with 73 such targets.

Calvin Johnson was second with 64.

Lloyd has done this with Kyle Orton, Tim Tebow, Sam Bradford, A.J. Feeley and Kellen Clemens as his quarterbacks.

Lloyd’s quarterback this year is Tom Brady. And his offensive coordinator is Josh McDaniels.
