The first full week of training camp is in the books with plenty to like from the New England Patriots on both sides of the ball.
Yes, even the offense, too.
The first few days were limited to red zone work and were basically an extension of minicamp and OTAs. However, the Patriots really opened things up in their first padded practice on Monday.
Things got competitive fast and in a hurry with the practices becoming much more physical. Granted, the defense is still the strength of the Patriots, but the offense isn’t backing down. Multiple players from the unit have shined as brightly as some of the team’s best defensive players.
Here are 10 standouts from the Patriots’ first week of training camp practice.
