The youngster again ran sharp, precise routes executing flawlessly on designed sideline outs, streaks and posts across the middle. Most impressively, he humiliated corners Chris Houston and Darius Slay off the line, hitting the juke button to beat press coverage. It can’t be overstated, the kid has not only locked down the ‘X’ role in an explosive offense, he possibly could emerge as the most coveted rookie, regardless of position, this season.

Forgot about this, definitely a good route to take with Cunningham.

Here’s something to consider when it comes to the Patriots’ final 53-man roster: One of their injured players could initially make the team, then be placed on the NFL’s short-term injured reserve list the next day to open a spot for another player. Last year, the Patriots used the designation on tight end Visanthe Shiancoe, which didn’t pan out. A top candidate this year figures to be defensive end Jermaine Cunningham. He doesn’t appear close to a return at this time, so the Patriots look primed to have either second-year man Justin Francis or five-year veteran Marcus Benard fill his role as a third-down interior sub rusher.

Both of them are easily two of the toughest guys I’ve been involved with,” Leach said. “There’d be bigger guys and faster guys, but they were the best receivers. Wes’s body of work in New England speaks for itself, and I think they’re going to be really pleased with Danny, too.

Vellano (aligned as a 3-technique, outside shade on guard) showed nice initial quickness to beat veteran left guard Rob Sims on a one-on-one rush to the inside. He caught Sims lunging and made him pay. That’s one area that Vellano has flashed at times in camp, first-step quickness as a rusher in tight spaces. But other times, Vellano’s relative lack of size (6-2, 300) was evident against the Lions as he was more easily blocked in the running game (e.g. Montell Owens’ 6-yard run with 7:05 remaining in the quarter). The Patriots are thin at defensive tackle and Vellano, at the least, looks like a strong practice squad candidate.
