Day 4 of camp rolled around yesterday, with more clips and notes from fans and reporters in attendance. Let’s check out the Tweets of Note from Day 4 of Training Camp!
The first real footage of any kicking activities emerged yesterday as Quinn Nordin, the UFA from Michigan, sailed one over through the uprights. Man, what a leg this kid has, if his consistency is there, I think he could easily edge out Folk by the end of camp, but, I think reps in the pre-season games will determine that.
Jeff Howe believed Mac Jones had his best day of camp yesterday, some good throws for him against the starters, and he was showing improvement. He also noted that Cam Newton had another strong day.
A couple of padded sessions next week to look forward to, this is where camp will really kick up a notch.
The rookie RB was getting involved yesterday in some pass-catching drills, showing some potential to be a dual option out of the backfield. I’m unsure how the backs room will look come September, but it’s exciting to see this one play out.
Eric Adler, the Patriots team photographer, provided a few shots from yesterday’s session, a glorious day in Foxboro, what I would give to be out there!
Mike D summed up the overall consensus with concerns over the depth at cornerback and wide receiver, and that he just wants to see “real football” in pads ASAP.
Zack Cox reported two returns yesterday as linebacker’s Anfernee Jennings and Brandon King appeared on the practice field. Jennings had been excused with a personal issue, whilst King had been battling injuries, last playing for the team in 2019 at Super Bowl LIII.
The yearly Slip’N’slide tradition continues as Slate manned the hose and the rookies slid across the practice field. A fun way to start the final practice of the week.
More back on Monday, I hope you all have a good end to your weekend.
