Stevan Ridley, Ras-I Dowling struggle in first day of contact drills | masslive.com

Another big day for wide receiver Kenbrell Thompkins and Kamar Aiken. Both players got off the line well and made several nice plays. Thompkins has been used almost exclusively on the outside, while Aiken has lined up both on the inside and outside. Aiken had a nice back-shoulder catch during one-on-one drills. Probably rookie Josh Boyce’s best practice. He runs crisp routes, got off the line well and had flashed better hands after dropping a few passes Saturday. He’s received snaps at all three receiver spots.
