Patriots players Brian Hoyer and Wes Welker confirmed what I thought when it comes to player-organized workouts during this lockout offseason. The Xs and Os impact of the workouts is minor, with the true value coming with players forming stronger relationships with others on the club. I think that team dynamic is underrated and it’s why I think every first, second or third-year player would be smart to train in Foxborough in Jerod Mayo-led workouts. Third-year Patriots receiver Brandon Tate has done so. The jury is still out on whether Tate can be a consistent top-2 receiver, but it sounds like he’s doing everything possible to put himself in position to take the next step.
