Christian Gonzalez says he has a ton of respect for Robert Kraft, but notes he doesn’t want to get his contract situation handled through the media

#Patriots training camp 4 notes: - Rough start for Drake Maye, particularly going downfield to AJ Brown, but he bounced back with downfield connections to Kayshon Boutte (TD), Hunter Henry (2x), and Rhamondre Stevenson - Eli Raridon is flashing as a receiver. Had impressive grabs on a contested target and settled between zones over the middle, both from DeVito - CBs Carlton Davis and Charles Woods both left practice - Caleb Lomu and James Hudson rotated behind Morgan Moses with the starters - Andy Borregales went 5/6 on FGs from 30-50 yards. Missed on a bad snap (s/o @RealAlexBarth) - Another quiet day for Romeo Doubs

Handful of explosive plays for the Drake Maye-led offense during today’s practice in helmets and shells. Bounce-back day after the defense won the day Sunday. * Two long completions down the field from Maye to Kayshon Boutte. Most productive receiver early in camp.
