For Drake Maye and the offense, Tuesday’s session represented the first steps in Josh McDaniels offense. Veteran tight end Hunter Henry, who continues to be a fixture entering his fifth season with the team, cautioned patience as the attack gets up to speed.
“We just got together a month ago and put this all in,” said Henry of fledgling offense. “So there’s a lot thrown at the wall right now that we’re trying to make stick. I’ve been in this scheme, but I haven’t been in this scheme with all these guys, so we’re trying to mesh this well. It takes time.”
Rookies Tre’Veyon Henderson and Kyle Williams saw plenty of action while fourth-overall pick Will Campbell not only got his feet wet with plenty of reps but also received an extended tutoring session from veteran Morgan Moses after practice.
“[Will’s] eager to learn, he asks questions, every day he’s like, ‘Bro, can we get some sets,’ you know just talking football,” said Moses. “His locker’s right beside mine, so we get to talk about football all day. Obviously, he’s a stud. He’s played great football in college and now he’s just trying to figure it out, where it’s like every week you’re going against a team that has a guy.”
Mike Vrabel also confirmed that the Patriots will participate in two joint practices this summer, first with the Washington Commanders in Foxborough and then with the Vikings in Minnesota.
“I think for sure that the Washington Commanders will come here and then they’ll play us, and then we are excited to go to Minnesota,” said Vrabel. “It’s a good setup that they have. It allows for great work. The Vikings have an excellent football team, and we have worked with them before, so we’re excited to go back up there.”
The Patriots will host two more open practices, May 28 and June 2, before mandatory minicamp, which is scheduled for June 9 – 11.
