Harmon’s presence provided an opportunity to watch him against better competition, and learn more about his style of play. He seems to have good instincts, and when the football is thrown in his direction, good ball skills. At 6-foot-1 and 205 pounds, his movement skills seem more fluid than 6-foot, 215-pound Wilson’s.

The Patriots linebacker has notched at least three forced fumbles and one interception during the first two weeks of training camp, and it doesn’t seem to be a fluky occurrence, either. Collins racked up three interceptions, seven forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and three defensive touchdowns to go along with 21 sacks in four collegiate seasons.

What type of impact do you expect Zach Sudfeld to make this season? He seems to the the UDFA star so far in camp.

Hard to say at the moment, they’re certainly giving him as many reps as he can get and that’s a good move. But let’s see him in a game before we get too excited, because if they have to roll with Fells until Gronk gets back it sounds like he’s been pretty good too. Can Sudfeld win the starting tight end spot outright? That would be pretty amazing, considering he’s like a Gronk twin. Imagine using those two guys in a two TE sets.

But I think he’s certainly looking at this point like he’ll make the roster and possibly make Hooman expendable. We can’t forget his injury history, but there’s no question he and Thompkins are this year’s UDFA stars through two weeks of camp.

Arrington: Has arguably been the Patriots’ most consistent cornerback throughout camp, and could end up as one of the starting outside corners, especially if Alfonzo Dennard is suspended.

Haven’t made much mention of the divisive Arrington here, but I was all for his re-signing this offseason and was glad when they locked him up. You can’t put a price on his experience and versatility, despite how he’s definitely had some bad plays that have stuck out over the years. Fact is, he’s just entering his prime, and if he continues to progress he could grow into an excellent corner.

Without tackling, it’s difficult to effectively evaluate offensive and defensive linemen, but defensive tackle Marcus Forston continues to look quick, nimble and in good shape. He flashed during team drills and looks to be right in the mix among the defensive tackles to start next to Vince Wilfork.
