Patriots’ 2021 training camp preview: TE Jonnu Smith

The 25-year-old will fill a hole that’s been a detriment for years in Foxborough.

The New England Patriots are heading into training camp with an entirely revamped roster following the subpar 7-9 2020 season.

Bill Belichick added talent all across the board with guys like Jonnu Smith, Hunter Henry, Matthew Judon, Jalen Mills, Kyle Van Noy and many more. The Patriots re-signed Cam Newton on a one-year deal and drafted Mac Jones at pick No. 15, leaving a quarterback competition ahead.

New England got a taste of what the team could look like during OTAs and minicamp, but the real spectacle will come at the end of July. The tight end position is in a much better place and is definitely one to watch during training camp.

We’ll be breaking down players ahead of training camp and Smith is one to keep an eye one.
