16 Aug
Summary
- Romeo Doubs showed impressive progress, connecting with Drake Maye for three touchdowns.
- Drake Maye displayed trust in receivers, including a deep ball to Kayshon Boutte.
- Kicker Andy Borregales rebounded with six successful field goals after a poor performance.
The New England Patriots' training camp continued with a vigorous full-pads practice, following their preseason opener. Wide receiver Romeo Doubs was a standout, demonstrating exceptional chemistry with quarterback Drake Maye. Their connection resulted in three touchdowns during the session, including two in 11-on-11 drills. Doubs particularly impressed with a contested catch in the end zone, reminiscent of Randy Moss.
Quarterback Drake Maye had a productive day, spreading the ball effectively and connecting for multiple touchdowns, especially with Doubs. He also showed confidence in Kayshon Boutte on a significant deep pass. Other notable performances included wide receiver Mack Hollins, who secured two touchdowns from Maye, and rookie edge rusher Gabe Jacas, who gained valuable experience with the starting unit.
Defensive backs Carlton Davis III and Charles Woods returned from injury, but gave up multiple completions and touchdowns. Kicker Andy Borregales had a perfect day, converting all six of his attempts, a marked improvement from his previous performance. The team also saw personnel changes with Jacob Rizy becoming the backup center and Andrew Rupcich placed on injured reserve.
