The New England Patriots kick-started organized team activities this week in their first major group practice in the Jerod Mayo era. Keep in mind, these are voluntary practices, and not everyone has been in attendance.
But the vast majority of the roster has reported.
That’s great news for a rebuilding Patriots team looking to instill new concepts shared by the new coaching staff. It’s also good for the rookies to get extra time working alongside veteran players, picking their brains and learning how the game is played at the next level.
There are plenty of new faces on the Patriots’ roster, and many could have a big hand in whether the team prospers or implodes in the future.
Here’s an updated look at the roster by jersey number with 2024 OTAs underway:
