4 quick-hit takeaways from days 2 and 3 of Patriots training camp

What’s happening at training camp?

TE Devin Asiasi is also enjoying some early success

He keeps popping up in the notes on Patriots.com. Here’s one note on how he’s doing: “Brian Lewerke made a nice connection with Gunner Olszewski, who worked nicely with Devin Asiasi on a combination route near the goal line. Asiasi also made a nice catch on a pass from Newton, and later Stidham connected with Mohamed Sanu as well Asiasi.”

When Matt LaCosse opted out of the 2020 season, Asiasi had practically no competition to take over the top tight end spot. The fact that he’s making catches early in camp is a good sign. But again, let’s wait to pass judgement before we see him in contact drills. A tight end has a huge physical advantage when safeties can’t be physical. Asiasi’s real test will be against a safety like Devin McCourty when they’re both wearing pads.

Justin Rohrwasser has yet to kick in front of the media

It’s not clear why he hasn’t kicked. But he’s the only kicker at camp and he’s a rookie, so it’s notable that he’s not working at it.
