Outside of Mac Jones, the biggest storyline was one player who wasn’t present on the practice field.
It’ll be fascinating to see if the league keeps last season’s practice squad rules — all veterans were eligible — because that would seem like a perfect fit for Brian Hoyer.
With a team built to run, we have the Patriots carrying quite a few running backs.
It’ll be fascinating to see if Olszewski can maintain his momentum when things get more competitive; sometimes slot receivers take a few seasons to develop in Foxborough.
If there are no injuries in this group, the guess here is that the Patriots try to sneak Dalton Keene onto the practice squad.
Judon and Van Noy give this group an entirely new look too, but Uche was the most disruptive defender in spring practices.
“All them rumors about retirement and stuff, y’all had me thinking somebody was trying to kick me out,” Hightower said.
The prediction here is that the two sides find common ground over the next month and hammer out a new deal to keep Gilmore in town for at least the next two seasons.
McCourty and Phillips provide a ton of stability in the secondary, while Dugger is another player that looks primed to make a second-year leap.
