‘New mentality’ is helping Patriots rookie Eli Raridon play faster

New England Patriots rookie tight end Eli Raridon emerged as one of quarterback Drake Maye’s favorite crunch-time targets during Friday’s training camp scrimmage that featured two teams: white and blue. The Notre Dame product was grouped with Maye on the white team. Although the squad fell short 22-15, the third-round draft selection caught back-to-back passes […]

Patriots 2026 scouting report for WR Romeo Doubs

The New England Patriots passing offense enjoyed considerable success during the 2025 season, but the need for improvement became obvious during the playoffs.

Patriots training camp recap: DeMario Douglas shines in Friday scrimmage

After four straight days of work, the New England Patriots put the pads on for a scrimmage on Friday. Teams were split into blue and white and drafted by a divided coaching staff.

Patriots WR Kyle Williams receives high praise from Mike Vrabel

So far this offseason, the New England Patriots have had a clear pecking order at wide receiver. A.J. Brown, Romeo Doubs and DeMario Douglas are the starting trio at the top, with Kayshon Boutte a fourth option who has repeatedly shown his big play abilities and chemistry with quarterback Drake Maye. Behind them, Mack Hollins […]

Patriots work out rookie cornerback after Carlton Davis, Charles Woods injuries

The New England Patriots’ cornerback group suffered some losses early in training camp.

New-and-improved Bradyn Swinson ready to grow his game

If we had to sum up Bradyn Swinson’s rookie season with one word, it probably would be “quiet.” The fifth-round draft pick out of LSU started out on the practice squad, and after his promotion to the active roster appeared in only four games with 27 defensive snaps and one quarterback hurry. He also saw some […]

Starter mindset has helped Marcus Bryant climb up Patriots OT depth chart

Listed at 6-foot-7 and 320 pounds, Marcus Bryant looks like a starting NFL offensive tackle. He feels like one too, and on Thursday, he actually was.

Patriots 2026 scouting report for WR Efton Chism III

The New England Patriots made some serious investments in their wide receiver group this offseason, but they also retained a majority of the talent they already had under contract in 2025.

Competition between the New England Patriots offense and defense is a common theme throughout training camp this week, especially between two of New England’s biggest stars: Christian Gonzalez and A.J. Brown. During a two-on-two period with the defensive backs and wide receivers at Thursday’s practice, Maye lofted a pass to Brown in the red zone […]

Bryce Baringer aiming for more consistency entering Year 4

The New England Patriots held tryouts for two punters during rookie and mandatory minicamp this offseason. Neither was signed.

Patriots 2026 scouting report for TE Hunter Henry

The New England Patriots’ 2021 free agency class was one for the ages, but five years later only one of the high-profile signings remains with the team. And for good reason: Hunter Henry has been a model citizen since coming to Foxborough (and before that as well), and will go down as one of the […]

Drake Maye weighs in on Kayshon Boutte’s future with Patriots

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte has been at the center of trade speculation throughout the offseason.
