Drake Maye is a Patriot. In the words of the 🐐: LFG! #Patriots

The clip everyone has been waiting for 👀 Drake Maye drops a perfect back-shoulder fade to AJ Brown in the corner of the end zone over Christian Gonzalez. I think #Patriots fans could get used to this.

.@_AndrewCallahan calls WR Kyle Williams his Player of the Day from Day 5 of #Patriots Training Camp: “He indisputably was the player of the day.” Watch @PatsInterferenc FULL VIDEO👇 ▶️ youtu.be/MmEqw1j7qdo

Great clip from the #Patriots of Kyle Williams hauling in a one-handed touchdown during today’s practice. Love to see that from the second-year wide receiver

Hello! 👀 TreVeyon Henderson lays out to haul in a touchdown from Drake Maye in the corner of the end zone!

Patriots camp Day 5 11v11s Drake Maye: 7/8 Tommy DeVito: 5/7 Behren Morton: 3/3 - Red zone day in pads. AJ Brown had four catches on five targets from Maye. Kyle Williams had two touchdown catches from DeVito.

Tanner Arkin is really popping as a run blocker. He knocked Dre’Mont Jones down. He knocked another defender down on a previous run play

Potential play of the day from Kyle Williams. Working in the back corner of the end zone against Kindle Vildor, he spun around for a back-shoulder throw from Tommy DeVito and made a one-handed grab away from his body while still landing in bounds.

#Patriots RZ 1v1s by my tracking: - Gonzo PBU vs Brown slant - Mondre out TD vs Spillane - Henry corner TD vs Byard - Woods late PBU vs Doubs fade - Jones PBU vs Douglas out - Henderson diving out TD vs Elliss - Raridon out TD vs Woodson - Hollins slant TD vs Minor - Gonzo PBU vs Boutte in - Stevenson out TD vs Britt - Henry uncatchable in vs Woodson - Williams uncatchable slant vs Woods - Brown fade TD vs Gonzo - Henderson in TD vs Muma - Henry corner TD vs Byard - Doubs out TD vs Minor - Douglas TD juke(?) vs Jones - Stevenson corner TD vs Spillane - Hollins contested fade TD vs Woods - Gonzo PBU vs Boutte fade (short pass)

#Patriots initial 11-on-11 notes: 🏈Drake Maye 4/5 plus a scramble and bad snap. 🏈A.J. Brown 2/3 on targets with slant catches vs. Minor and Elliss after an incomplete go ball vs. Gonzalez. 🏈Run stuffs galore. Elliss, Durden on scene. 🏈Kyle Williams long TD from DeVito. 🏈UDFA WR Cameron Dorner, LB Khalil Jacobs, TE Tanner Arkin flash.

AJ Brown doing what he does best! The new #Patriots WR beats Christian Gonzalez 1-on-1 and snags the pass from Drake Maye in the corner of the end zone for the touchdown!

Early candidate for play of the day: WR Kyle Williams hauls in the TD pass from Tommy DeVito in the back left corner of the end zone in full-team drills. Williams got behind CB Kobee Minor with some solid work at the LOS, then finished it off with a sure-handed grab.

#Patriots initial 1-on-1 pass rush notes: 🏈Will Campbell 2-0, reps vs. Dre’Mont Jones, Bradyn Swinson. 🏈DT Christian Barmore 1-1 with a huge win against Caedan Wallace. DT Eric Gregory 2-0, both reps vs. Ben Brown. 🏈Milton Williams, Mike Onwenu both 1-1.

Pads are on 😤

Mike Vrabel on the #Patriots' Running Backs handling pass protection: “I love the way that Rhomondre protects, and TreVeyon is continuing to work on that.”

Mike Vrabel on the possibility of trading a WR given the #Patriots’ depth at the position: “I love having depth, but I would say that we're always going to try to look to improve, whether that's by adding draft capital or obtaining a player or keeping the guys we have. We want to try to provide competition throughout the roster at each position.”

Mike Vrabel on Kayshon Boutte's strong camp so far: “Very professional. He's ready to go. Knows what to do and takes advantage of his opportunities. It's been great to see him show up and be very productive early on in camp.”

Mike Vrabel on if Christian Gonzalez will be a full participant as the #Patriots begin fully padded practices: “I don't think his participation is going to change. I haven't heard anything. I thought he's come out and looked good, looked exactly how we would expect him to look.”

A pair of @DrakeMaye2 beauties 🤩 @dreeday32 | @KayshonBoutte1

@GregABedard I don’t think referencing rankings while talking about rankings is irrelevant or just wearing Patriots-colored glasses haha. AJ had a down year for sure, but I’ve always thought he was better than Smith, long before he became a Patriot. Looks like the consensus agrees too

@_CaseyBaker Rankings, smankings. Take off the Pats' colored glasses! Based on the film from last season, and how defenses played the Eagles, Smith is slightly more dangerous. But it's close. Don't pretend it's not. DVOA, EPA, DYAR all give edge to Smith.

Not having AJ Brown in the top 10 while ranking DeVonta Smith at 8 is certainly a choice by Madden…
