Observations from Day 1 – New England Patriots Blog – ESPN Boston

More observations coming in…

Among the most important developments of the day from this vantage point was having fourth-round wide receiver Josh Boyce on the field. Boyce, who was severely limited in the offseason by a foot injury, is a natural hands catcher with smooth movements and precision to his routes. That’s consistent with what we saw in his college film. Assuming his foot is 100 percent, look for him to continue to compete for reps.

For those with an interest in the intangibles: veteran safety Adrian Wilson appears to have asserted himself quickly as a leader, greeting his teammates with high-fives and support as they came to the sideline. Seems like he’ll have an impact off the field as well as on it.
